Finding the Balance in Standard Bus Design
Abstract
Government, Industry, and Research/University centers are pushing standard bus designs as a way to achieve Operationally Responsive Space and include faster response, lower cost, and adequate performance with respect to mission requirements. This paper investigates the Standard Bus Design trades as they relate to mission performance/utility and areas where standard bus designs may not support the required mission utility. The focus will be on developing acquisition strategies that the government could employ to promote system interoperability without sacrificing mission performance.
