The System Design Problem entails stating the following requirements. Input/Output and Functional Requirement Technology Requirement Input/Output Performance Requirement Utilization of Resources Requirement Trade-Off Requirement System Test Requirement
The Input/Output and Functional Requirements consist of the following: TPUC โ System Time Scale IPUC โ System Inputs ITPUC โ System Input Trajectories OPUC โ System Outputs OTPUC โ System Output Trajectories MPUC โ System Matching Functions
TPUC is the time scale for ALASM is expressed in milliseconds. The flight life is expected not to exceed 10 minutes. This becomes 10 minutes * 60 seconds/minute * 1000 milliseconds/second = 600,000 milliseconds. TPUC = IJS [0 โ 600,000] 3.3.2. System Inputs IPUC0 represents the set of system inputs for ALASM. There are three inputs. IPUC0 = IPUC1 x IPUC2 x IPUC IPUC1 is a set of data representing current target position. IPUC1 = TargetPosition = {TargetLocation, TargetVelocity, TargetObserveTime} TargetLocation = IJS{1-N} TargetVelocity = IJS{1-N} TargetObserveTime = IJS{1-N} IPUC2 is a set of data representing current ALASM position (Transfer Alignment). IPUC2 = MissilePosition = {MissileLocation, MissleVelocity, MissileObserveTime} MissileLocation = IJS{1-N} MissileVelocity = IJS{1-N} MissileObserveTime = IJS{1-N} IPUC3 is a set of data representing the security code. IPUC3 = SecurityKey = {Launch}
Launch = IJS{1-N} 3.3.3. System Input Trajectories ITPUC is the set of input trajectories for ALASM. The set of all possible inputs IPUC over the time scale TPUC are identified below. ITPUC = {f: f X FNS (TPUC, IPUC)}; If Transfer Alignment is not received a LAR cannot be calculated. If the security code is not received or correct ALASM will fail BIT.
OPUC represents the set of system outputs for ALASM. There are three outputs. OPUC = OPUC1 x OPUC2 x OPUC where OPUC1 is a set of data representing the LAR region, in this case 4 points of a rectangle at the expected launch altitude where โ0โ is null data and โ1โ is data received. OPUC1 = LAR = {(Lat1, Long1), (Lat2, Long2), (Lat3, Long3), (Lat4, Long4)} Lat1 = IJS{-90 - 90}; Long1 = IJS{-180 - 180}; Lat2 = IJS{-90 - 90}; Long2 = IJS{-180 - 180}; Lat3 = IJS{-90 - 90}; Long3 = IJS{-180 - 180}; Lat4 = IJS{-90 - 90}; Long4 = IJS{-180 - 180} where OPUC2 is a set of data displayed to the pilot for missile status (BIT) where โ0โ is null data and โ1โ is data received. OPUC2 = MissileStatus = {MissileReady, MissileFail} MissileReady = {0,1} MissileFail = {0,1} where OPUC3 is a set of data from the seeker showing the target, latest aim point and expected impact position prior to impact to assist with post-flight analysis where โ0โ is null data and โ1โ is data received. OPUC3 = TargetDestroy = {TargetImage, TargetAimpoint, TargetImpactPosition} TargetImage = {0,1} TargetAimpoint = {0,1} TargetImpactPosition = {0,1}
OTPUC is the set of output trajectories for ALASM. OTPUC is the set of all possible outputs (OPUC) over the time scale (TPUC). OTPUC = {f: f ๏^ FNS(TPUC, OPUC); If any data sets contained within LAR report โ0โ or null data MissileFail reports โ0โ. Missile status will be indicated only after BIT is performed.
The overall Performance Figure of Merit is defined as IF0P0 and is mathematically represented as follows: IF0P0 = (ISF1P0 * IW1P0) + (ISF2P0 * IW2P0) +... + (ISFmP0 * IWmP0) where n = the total number of I/O Performance Criteria and ISFiP0 = ISiP0(IFiP0(FSD)) for i = 1 to m.
In this section, the following naming convention is used: The initial letter โIโ indicates the name is for an Input/Output Performance Requirement. The terminal P0 indicates the name involves the initial iteration for the ALASM system. IFiP0 = the ith figure of merit measured per the test plan, IBiP0 = the baseline value for the ith figure of merit, IFXiP0 = the measured value for the ith figure of merit, ILTHiP0 = lower threshold for the ith figure of merit, IRiP0 = ranking of importance from 1 to 10, ISFiP0 = score for the ith figure of merit, ISiP0 = scoring function for the ith figure of merit, ISLiP0 = slope for the ith figure of merit, IUTHiP0 = upper threshold for the ith figure of merit, IWiP0 = weight for the ith figure of merit SSF = standard scoring function
Probability of Kill of the system is the determination the system can effectively destroy the intended target. This requirement if a function of multiple functions located in Document 2, Section 2.5, which independently is either present or not included. When combined they each contribute to overall system performance. Score: IS1P0 = SSF (ILTH1P0, IB1P0, IUTH1P0, ISL1P0) Units % probability of destroying target Lower Threshold ILTH1P0 95 Baseline IB1P0 96 Upper Threshold IUTH1P0 100 Slope ISL1P0 7

UFXiP0 = the measured value for the ith^ figure of merit, ULTHiP0 = lower threshold for the ith^ figure of merit, URiP0 = ranking of importance from 1 to 10, USFiP0 = score for the ith^ figure of merit, USiP0 = scoring function for the ith^ figure of merit, USLiP0 = slope for the ith^ figure of merit, UUTHiP0 = upper threshold for the ith^ figure of merit, UWiP0 = weight for the ith^ figure of merit, and SSF = standard scoring function

Test focus: Flight Trajectory Simulation To determine if the system performs as designed, non-conservative simulations will be conducted. Non-conservative consists of modeling all parameters at their lowest/highest value causing the probability of failure to increase. Sensitivity analyses will be conducted to determine which parameters most affect the mission outcome.
Probability of Kill will be determined via simulation/analysis. Satellite Size will be determined via analysis and testing. Seeker component testing will validate analyses and performance of the seeker.
Schedule represents the amount of time to develop the system. The program scheduler will track time. Time can be from 35 to 48 months. Cost to Develop represents the approximate cost incurred to develop the system. DaRC Solutions will track costs on a week-to-week basis. Cost can range from $50,000,000 to $100,000,000. Cost Per Unit represents the approximate cost to procure hardware, build and test the system. DaRC Solutions will use Estimators and actual costs on similar systems to determine cost. Cost can range from $10,000,000 to $25,000,000. COTS Utilization is the approximate percentage of the total system which is constructed from Commercial Off the Shelf parts. COTS can range from 0 to 10. Ease of Use is the perceived difficulty of using the system as voiced by BARPA and/or BARPA-designated representatives, such as potential end-users. Ease of Use can range from 1 to 10. Lifetime is the calculated life expectancy which uses reliability and quality data for critical components and has a range of 10 to 15 years. Growth Opportunities is the perceived ability to upgrade or add functionality to the system with relative ease. Growth Opportunities can range from 1 to 10.
Rationale was provided in the RFP presented to DaRC Solutions by BARPA. This system is to provide BARPA a capability to destroy LEO satellites which have malfunctioned. Some satellites carry hazardous and/or toxic materials, which if they survive re-entry, could cause an environmental disaster.
