Abstract
The dramatic advances within the electronics industry
over the last few decades have brought about several equally
effective computer design alternatives for use in military
avionics systems. This report is an attempt to examine the
maintenance personnel and training Life Cycle Costs associated
with three of these alternatives; (1) Consolidated Mission
Computer, (2) Federated Homogeneous Computer System, and (3)
Federated Heterogeneous Computer System. The computations
indicate that the Federated Homogeneous System is the most
cost effective alternative.
• This report is intended as an input to the research being
conducted by LCDR James Buttinger and Associate Professor
Uno Kodres for the Naval Weapons Center, China Lake, titled
"A Study of Alternatives for VSTOL Computer Systems."
