"Club Med"/sup TM/ avionics at "Motel 6"/sup TM/ costs: win/win development strategies

Abstract

Avionics system development offers us a dilemma. You know how you'd like to develop systems...highest possible integrity, lowest failure rates, best ergonomics. You also know what will price you out of the market and abandon the business to your competitors: "bleeding edge" efforts to extract a theoretical last advantage from your product. What we really need is a "Club Med" experience on a survivable "Motel 6" budget.
