Team Juan Pablo Pods System Modular Aircraft Exterior
Team: Juan Pablo Pods System: Modular Aircraft Exterior Pods Descriptive Statement The MAEP is a common design allowing for a large variety of units to be installed in a standard rack. The standard rack allows for the interchangeability of a large numbers of sensors, units, and antennas. The common pod design creates a low cost, fast turnaround FAA Certified design, creating a true Quick Reaction Capability effort. Strategic Values/Objectives • Inexpensive • Low Certification Costs • Quick Reaction Capable • Universal Interfaces • Uses New-to-Market Technologies Team Members • Cody Clanton • Brian Claussen • Josh Cory • Chris Leroux
RS Analysis for Modular Aircraft Exterior Pods Change Domain Proactive Creation (and Elimination) Improvement Migration Modification (Add/Sub Capability) Reactive Correction Variation Response Issues What must the system be creating or eliminating in the course of its operational activity? • The plan for what components will be needed • The creation of a configuration plan for the pod What performance characteristics will the system be expected to improve during operational life cycle? • Maximum Weight • Maximum Electrical Power What major events coming down the road will require a change in the system infrastructure? • New Materials requiring new manufacturing tools • Different Radome Shape What modifications in resources-employed might need made as the system is used? • Rack Layout • LRU Advancements What can go wrong that will need an automatic systemic detection and response? • Failed FAA Certification • Inaccurate configuration plan What process variables will range across what values and need accommodation? • Environmental Variations What are “quantity-based” elastic-capacity needs on resources/output/activity/other? Expansion (and Contraction • Different Sized Compartments • Variety of electrical power requirements of Capacity) • LRU Heating/Cooling demands What types of resource relationship configurations will need changed during operation? Reconfigu • Modifications to the configuration plan ration

System: Modular Aircraft Exterior Pods Reality Factors Human (Including Customer) Behavior – Human error, whimsy, expediency, arrogance. . . • Inattention during manufacture and installation • Operating outside standard parameters (in hostile environments) • Altering maintenance procedures to save time Organizational Behavior – Survival rules rule, nobody's in absolute control. . . • Marketing overselling capabilities • Drive to reduce NRE to maximize profits • Shortsightedness caused by the need to react quickly. Technology Pace – Accelerating technology and security-vulnerability introductions , sparse testing. . . • COTS Technology advancements (Pushing the operating limits of the pods) • GFE requirements driving unexpected configurations System Complexity – Incomprehensible, highly networked, unintended consequences, emergence. . . • Non-intuitive installation and repair procedures • Composite material composition and fabrication procedures Globalization – Partners with different ethics, values, infrastructures, cultural assumptions. . . • Different outlooks on acceptable technology use (spying versus justified surveillance) Partially-Agile Enterprise Faddish Practices – Outsourcing, web services, transparency, COTS policies/affects. . . • Outsourcing composites radome manufacturing and complex machine practices • Using COTS (Reliant on vendor priorities) Agile Customers/Competitors/Adversaries – Distributed, collaborative, self organizing, proactive, impatient, innovative. . . • Competitors capable of fully in-house operations • Reliant on OEM A/C data • Customer desires versus STC Capabilities (One radome design per STC)
