In a product development process, it is crucial to understand and evaluate multiple and synergic aspects of systems such as performance, cost, reliability and safety. These aspects are mainly considered during later stages of the design process. However, in order to improve the foundations for decision-making, this paper presents methods that are intended to increase the engineering knowledge in the early design phases. In complex products, different systems from a multitude of engineering disciplines have to work tightly together. Collaborative design is described as a process where a product is designed through the collective and joint efforts of domain experts. A Collaborative Multidisciplinary Design Optimization (CMDO) process is therefore proposed in the conceptual design phase in order to increase the likelihood of more accurate decisions being taken early on. The performance of the presented framework is demonstrated in an industrial application to design aircraft systems in the conceptual phase.

“…According to Moir and Seabridge [14], the aircraft system can be described as a system of systems that integrates sub-systems to perform a particular role or set of roles. Each sub-system can be a viewpoint or a system for a different stakeholder or organisation.…”

“…One simplified example is shown in Figure 1 to illustrate how avionics architecture vary and evolves over time. For distributed analogue architectures, the major units are interconnected by hardwiring instead of data buses [14]. Every function is a "point-solution", implemented by analogue electronics and relays [16].…”

“…Functionalities were performed by application software running on digital computers [16]. ARINC 429 (although slow by today's standards at 110kbps for ARINC429 [14]) was used for connections between major units. The advanced technology in high-speed data buses such as ARINC 429, MIL-STD-1553B and ARIC 629 boosted the occurrence of federated architecture during the 1980s.…”

Abstract-Software Product Line Engineering (SPLE) has drawn large amounts of attention during the last two decades as it offers the benefits of reducing cost and time to market by reusing requirements and components. Recently, more and more large scale industries start to implement SPLE in their domains (combining SPLE with model-based modelling methods). However, the problem of how to combine SPLE with ModelBased System Engineering is still a challenge, as systems are much broader than the software domain. Unlike software engineering, system engineering has to consider the physical resources aspect. This paper classifies typical types of physical variability and provides general modelling solutions for each type of physical variation at the system design stage. Specifically, this approach combines a variability model with a SysML Block Definition Diagram and an Internal Block Diagram to model the contextual variability, architectural variability, connector variability, instance number variability, component variability, location variability and evolutional variability of physical designs. Variability is modelled separately to help reduce the complexity of design models. Last but not least, the proposed method is illustrated by an aircraft system case study.

“…As mentioned above, this would be ideally used with a high wing aspect ratio to assist in stable flight control. The maximum width would be limited to the runway width, and a balance needed to ensure it would not be limited to use depending on the available runways [10]. However, if the wing cord length was only 0.…”

The need to refuel in-flight has become a significant part of military strategy for air forces to work at further distances from safe shores. The use of Unmanned Vehicles is increasing and expected to be the principal part of military deployment. This paper will address the concepts and requirements for applying refueling unmanned vehicles in a military context for supporting fixed and rotor aircraft. Design aspects of human factors in the process are considered, reviewed and solutions proposed to allow for the first generation of designs to be developed. Furthermore, the practical and operational limitations will be addressed as part of the human factors implications. Finally, the design parameters are proposed for the first stage developments to achieve Unmanned Vehicle refueling.
