The combination of redundant integrated servo actuator packages and a redundant dispersed fly-by-wire flight control system will provide the survivable flight control system that is the goal of the advanced development program. Not only will aircraft survivability be improved in the face of a given quantity and quality of enemy fire. The improved handling qualities, precision control capability, and reduced pilot workload will combine to destroy a given target with given weapons with fewer passes through improved accuracy. Thus, exposure to hostile fire in performing a given task will be reduced, improving fleet, as well as individual aircraft survivability. (Author)
