Abstract
|
ARL has developed a software architecture and supporting analysis tools to allow decision makers to first explore the broad range of possibilities of foundries that can be used to manufacture complex systems such as armored vehicles, and then to converge in the decision making to a final foundry configuration that represents a consensus choice of a decision-making team. To test and validate the architecture, ARL built a number of foundry testbeds for artifacts ranging from a commonly available commercial truck transmission to a typical Amphibious Combat Vehicle such as will be addressed under DARPA's Adaptive Vehicle Make (AVM) program. Components have included higher level sub-assemblies, parametric parts, arbitrary geometry machine components, and catalog items. Our effort has proved the validity of the architecture for supporting AVM, and reaffirmed the critical position of automated process planning capability on the path to AVM program success.
