ADS-65A-HDBK, AERONAUTICAL DESIGN STANDARD HANDBOOK: DATA AND TEST GUIDANCE FOR QUALIFICATION OF SENSOR SYSTEMS ON AIRCRAFT (29 AUG 2008)

ADS-65A-HDBK, AERONAUTICAL DESIGN STANDARD HANDBOOK: DATA AND TEST GUIDANCE FOR QUALIFICATION OF SENSOR SYSTEMS ON AIRCRAFT (29 AUG 2008)., This handbook establishes design and documentation guidance for full qualification of vision and targeting sensor systems, which will be completed prior to issue of an Airworthiness Release (AWR). It includes statements, analyses and preliminary analyses regarding sensor systems and subsystems. Guidance may be tailored for development of test requirement at the discretion of the Government. Requirements contained within this document apply only to sensor systems that have the subject equipment or subsystem. Commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) systems are not exempt from the requirements herein. COTS systems will meet all applicable requirements in order to obtain an airworthiness release. The airworthiness authorities may waive COTS requirements. Documentation of the waiver is required. Sensor payloads should be considered as safety critical. Analysis, inspections, simulations, testing, and demonstration will verify compliance of system, subsystem, or component to the applicable specification.
