Aircraft Systems Integration Of Air-Launched Weapons Av Keith A. (Bae Systems Military Air Solutions) Rigby

<p>From the earliest days of aviation where the pilot would drop simple bombs by hand, to the highly agile, stealthy aircraft of today that can deliver smart ordnance with extreme accuracy, engineers have striven to develop the capability to deliver weapons against targets reliably, safely and with precision. </p><p><i>Aircraft Systems Integration of Air-Launched Weapons</i> introduces the various aspects of weapons integration, primarily from the aircraft systems integration viewpoint, but also considers key parts of the weapon and the desired interactions with the aircraft required for successful target engagement. </p><p>Key features:</p><ul><li>Addresses the broad range of subjects that relate directly to the systems integration of air-launched weapons with aircraft, such as the integration process, system and subsystem architectures, the essential contribution that open, international standards have on improving interoperability and reducing integration costs and timescales</li><l
