Abstract
A small number of countries are leading the world in the development of advanced weapon systems. In general, the access to the information on the design of advanced systems is limited. As such, when similar weapon systems need to be developed, a special methodology must be considered to catch up with both the technological and information barriers. In this paper, we study a design methodology based on the combination of the reverse engineering and the design structure matrix (DSM) approach. The methodology begins by analyzing the advanced system by reverse engineering and produces a set of design results in the form of physical architecture, functional architecture and system requirements. The design results are further enhanced by applying the DSM clustering. As a result, one can get an improved design result. As a target system, a guided missile system was considered.
