Overview

Title:  Vehicle Control and Management System (VCMS) Scope:  This specification delineates the operational needs and general parameters for a physical product family identified as Vehicle Control and Management Systems (VCMS) for piloted and unmanned aerospace vehicles (e.g. fixed and rotary wing). Vehicle control and management systems are described to include all elements used to transmit flight control commands from the pilot and other sources to selected force and moment producers. Vehicle control commands may result in control of the air vehicle's flight path, flight trajectory, attitude, angle of attack, angle of sideslip, airspeed, aerodynamic configuration, and response characteristics. Elements included are the pilots' controls, displays and logic switching, transducers, system dynamic and air data sensors, signal computation, test devices, transmission devices, actuators, uninterruptible power, and signal transmission lines dedicated to the vehicle control and management system. Interfaces of vehicle control and management systems with related air vehicle subsystems are defined. Verification provisions are included.
