4.2.2 Tv~e II. Type II presents a cha” lenge to the aircraft and<br />

suspension equipment designers and represents the most complex problems. The<br />

stores to be carried on a particular aircraft can and do, have a profound<br />

effect on the specific aircraft design and quite often are the cause of aircraft<br />

design trade-off.<br />

4.2.3 Tvpe III. Type III places a large portion of the responsibility<br />

and effort for achieving compatibilityon the.store designer. It is<br />

not uncommon to find that the requirement for carriage of a newly developed<br />

store on certain specific aircraft has had a major influence on the store<br />

design. The aircraft and stores management system (SMS) designers will also<br />

have significant efforts in the situation particularly if an electrical interface<br />

is required. While it is possible in some cases to design a new store<br />

which mimics the electrical interfaceof an inventory store, most new stores<br />

(withelectrical interfaces)will require modifications to the aircraft.<br />

This modification may be limited to software changes in the aircraft avionics<br />

or SMS.<br />

4.2.4 Twe IV. Type IV represents the classic case of the abso- :<br />

lute necessity of dialogue during the design stages between the aircraft<br />

designer, the suspensionequ ipmentdesigner, and the...storedesigner-to preelude<br />

any aircraft/store compatibilityproblems occuring at the operational<br />

phases. The stores to be carried on a particular aircraft can, and do, have<br />

a profound effect on the specific aircraft design and quite often are the<br />

cause of aircraft design trade-offs.<br />

4.3 Comuatibilitv at the desiun stages. “Operationalexperience<br />

acquired by all the services has repeatedly demonstrated that airborne weapon<br />

system compatibility considerationshave not been adequately addressed during<br />

“thedesign stages of the aircraft, suspension equipment, store or combinations<br />

thereof. Therefore, the primary objective of this section is to emphasize,<br />

to the design engineer, those areas that are considered prerequisite<br />

and necessary for achieving total weapon system compatibility during the<br />

design evolution. The developmentof the aircraft/weapon interface shall<br />

consider not only the equipment already in inventory, but also those projected<br />

or proposed for.future employment.. Elimination of’interface<br />

compatibility problems encountered in times past by the various services is a<br />

‘mandatoryobjective.<br />
