Current USAF avionics acquisition practices breed 'black box' proliferation with all its attendant high costs, low reliability, and heavy O and M burden. This is happening while digital technology threatens to inundate the Service Logistic channels. Enough technology is in hand to create prototype 'digital avionics'. Software turns out to be the single most deficient technical area. The Board concludes that properly exercised avionics General Systems Engineering (GSE) can cause the much needed turn about in this avionics situation. The Board has identified practices and facilities needed to adequately conduct avionics GSE (Volume I). Volume IV is a treatise on cost trade analysis. This volume indicates the importance of Life Costing (LCC) and the considerations that must be given to the '....ilities' if cost-effective avionics are to become a reality. (Author)
