Projects

• Each study group will develop a system.
• System to be selected by the group from list
  (next slide) or approved by Bell.
• Im your customer.
• You will define all the steps and documents.
• Define and selectively develop program schedule,
  system, documents.
• Emphasis is on all integration aspects and
  appropriate testing along the way to customer
  acceptance.
• Each group will develop a SEMP, a TEMP and an A
  spec.
• Each group will make a presentation (1 hour).
• Every member presents
• Each presentation is a portion of a major design
  or test review.

• Must host surveillance equipment (provided by
  another vendor).
• Accommodates aircrew and 5 sensor operators.
• Delivered with operator USI subsystems installed.
  
• Must fly from unimproved airfields.
• Used by all military services.
• All weather flying capability.
• 4 years to IOC, if modified.
• 6 years to IOC, if new aircraft.

7
Systems for Projects

• Spacecraft
• Mercury mapper.
• Both IR and radar.
• Directed subcontractors for the sensors.
• 3 year on-station life.
• Uses existing ground stations.
• 3 years to launch from shuttle in orbit.

8
Systems for Projects

• Health monitoring
• Used to monitor ambulatory patients from their
  homes.
• Realtime notification of physicians of out of
  tolerance parameters (50).
• Directed subcontractors for the sensors.
• 5 years between mandatory service.
• Automatic instructions to patient i.e. not just
  an alarm.
• 2 years to competitors roll-out.

9
Instructions

• Develop mini(10 pages each) A Spec with
  section 4, SEMP, and a Master Test Plan.
• Define subsystems and their performance
  requirements.
• Include engineering organization with roles and
  responsibilities.
• Use IPTs.
• Summarize written documents for a Powerpoint
  classroom presentation of which everyone presents
  an approximately equal portion.
• For the remaining information you need to know to
  do your project... ask Bell.
• If no answer in two days, make and document your
  assumptions then continue.
