The research reported herein is part of a larger research effort entitled Digital Avionics Information System (DAIS) Life Cycle Costing (LCC) Study. The objective of the total effort is to provide USAF with an enhanced in-house capability to incorporate LCC considerations during all stages of the weapon system acquisition process into the following trade-off areas: avionics design, weapon system operation and maintenance, and planning for manpower utilization and training. The initial application of the results of the study will be to assess the LCC impact of the implementation of the DAIS in the mid-1980s Close Air Support (CAS) weapon system. The research reported in this technical report was performed to develop two conceptual design configurations. These demonstrate the application of the DAIS concept of avionics integration in the avionics suites of two CAS weapon systems: one of the present day genre, and one of the mid-1980s time frame. They will serve as the data baseline for the remaining tasks of the DAIS LCC Study. This report presents the two conceptual design configurations representative of a current and a mid-1980s DAIS-configured CAS aircraft avionics suite. They are specified in detail sufficient to support the remaining tasks of the DAIS LCC Study, to include: Maintenance task analyses; the development of realistic acquisition, operation, and support costs; and the development of suitable maintenance manpower training techniques and criteria. The report describes in detail the six major subtasks conducted during the development of the conceptual design configuration.
