FWV Weapon System Definition is an Important Cornerstone
Charted here is a block diagram representation of the definition of a FWV. Also shown are the classic air vehicle / weapon system components not expressly considered part of the FWV program (propulsion, avionics, crew station, etc....) .
Also documented here are the driving premises around which the FWV program assessments have been made. Specifically, an inhabited, fighter / attack class air vehicle with an Initial Operational Capability (IOC) in the 2010 time frame. 2010 would suggest (demand) a technology maturation date of 2003.
