Abstract

This paper is structured firstly to describe the operational requirements of a modern military aircraft with particular reference to its armament systems, secondly to derive and consider developing architectures for armament control and thirdly to present one of the architectures from an implementation point of view.

The paper concludes that the optimum architecture for safety, availability and control of airborne weapons can be derived logically from the military aircraft operational requirement. It is not necessary to indulge in over duplication to achieve a cost effective, safe and available system.
