This paper presents a case study of a generic complex modular avionics system during system and subsystem design phases. The case study demonstrates setup and application of an integrated performance and supportability analysis methodology. Although the methodology was originally set up for supportability design and analysis only, the capability and structure for integration of performance issues developed as the result of evaluating the impact of weapons systems constraints on the system design and support issues. A quantitative system mission and functional-driver link between supportability requirements and specific design issues was established early-on. This enabled numerous design tradeoffs/improvements for supportability throughout the program. The methodology and analysis provided a program-directed focus breaking across traditional organizational and communications barriers in avionics design and analysis.
