“…90 For network is also regarded as one of the major characteristics of SoS 39 , it is a natural choice to use complex network method in SoSed design. DeLaurentis et al 91 used this method to handle the connectivity problems of air transportation agent, making the whole SoS have stronger robustness and scalability.…”

In order to obtain optimized flight vehicle concepts which meet system of systems (SoS) operation requirements, designers have to pay high attention to the impact of SoS at conceptual design stage since operation environment goes increasingly complex. Based on this tendency, perspectives and progresses of SoS oriented flight vehicle conceptual design, which is abbreviate as SoSed design, are reviewed in this paper. Such basic concepts of SoS as definition, characteristics, differences between systems engineering and SoS engineering, as well as SoSed design process are introduced, then SoS engineering process model for research and development of flight vehicles and SoSed design wheel model for conceptual design are proposed. Related literature is classified and analyzed in accordance with four major elements including requirements, design concept, design analysis, and trade studies and optimization: typical SoS architectures, description and quantization of indexes are introduced; Application of inverse design in designing concept is analyzed; Modeling and simulation (M&S)-based methods and their applications in SoSed effectiveness evaluation are highlighted; According to SoSed trade studies and optimization related research, the importance of such points as decision-making and using multidisciplinary design optimization for reference are emphasized. Finally, the value of SoSed design is concluded, and five directions which are worthy of attention in this field are presented.

“…In the field of aerospace, the concept of SoS has been applied to solve different problems, for instance, air strike [8,9], civilian transportation [10][11][12], maritime applications [13] and so on. SoS theory also plays an important role in aircraft design [14][15][16], because it gives aircraft designers new inspiration about aircraft design methods, especially in conceptual design phase.…”

Design space exploration has been much neglected in aircraft conceptual design phase, which often leads to a waste of time and cost in design, manufacture and operation process. It is necessary to explore design space based on operational systemof-systems (SoS) simulation during the early phase for a competitive design. This paper proposes a methodology to analyze aircraft performance parameters in four steps: combination of parameters, object analysis, operational simulation, and keyparameters analysis. Meanwhile, the design space of an unmanned aerial vehicle applied in earthquake search and rescue SoS is explored based on this methodology. The results show that applying SoS simulation into design phase has important reference value for designers on aircraft conceptual design.

“…The aerospace industry is risk-averse and seeks to reduce risk and cost by reducing uncertainty [29] . Lately, the aerospace business has taken a systems-of-systems approach to design [30][31][32][33] in order to decompose the design space and to integrate the solutions with awareness of and planning for uncertainty resolution. Uncertainty plays a significant role in design and every participant in the design process may have a slightly different understanding, where their understanding may not fall into a "right", "wrong", "better" or "worse" understanding, but rather "more comprehensive" or "less comprehensive".…”
