• Reduce total cost of ownership for customer• Easily adapt to new operational requirements• Respond to customers expectations on performance and functionality increase• Substantially decrease development cycles• Reduce cost to integrate systems and functions• Reduce effort to upgrade equipment• More efficient distributed development - facilitate for partner and customer to

participate in development

New Avionic System StructureDrivers


• Utilize technology leap:• Efficient architecture• Optimized methods and processes• Model Based Systems Engineering tools with auto coder

• Challenges -> new engineering values• Radical change in working• All disciplines are effected• Competence (general and specific domain)

• Gripen Demo indicates >> 50% increased development efficiency

Conclusions

Architectures and Integration are key for Capability,Flexibility and Affordability throughout the life cycle• Decomposed in flexible domains and optimized domains• Able to meet new operational requirements affordably• Able to benefit from upgraded technologies and technology shifts• Handles product, process and supply chain in a coordinated way

Model Based Systems Engineering allows to utilize thepotential• Early Knowledge and storage of knowledge throughout life cycle• Shared understanding of requirements and solutions• Needed for competive lead times and quality• Increased confidence and reduced testing
