A technology system for the carrier/air vehicle integration

The carrier/air vehicle integration is of vital importance to aircraft carrier system engineering, which is the foundation of all contact and mutual requirement among aircrafts and carrier. Based on the developing process for the carrier/air vehicle integration in foreign countries, this paper presents the relevant definition and technology connotation with three methods (theoretical analysis, simulation, verification test), analyzes the three elements (aircraft carrier, aircraft, human), and proposes the technical content to achieve three objectives (safety, efficiency, compatibility). According to the aviation operation project of aircraft carriers, the technology system for integration is also established for carrier and aircraft, including the overall suitability, aircraft maintenance support suitability, aircraft service support suitability, launching and recovery suitability, and aircraft and command suitability. Finally, the working content and procedure for the carrier/air vehicle integration are presented, which provides support for building the technology system as well as processing with the carrier/air vehicle integration.
