This program sought to avail itself of anticipated continuation in size reduction and performance improvement in electronic technology. The hope was for technology to enable a small aircraft to carry greater processing capacity than that being carried on aircraft the size of AWACS (Boeing 707). The questions were: when and at what cost? Research performed by PRICE Systems professionals in the area of technology trend analysis demonstrates consistent and predictable behavior with transitions from one generation of technology to the next. As long as a function is in demand (such as power sourcing or digital processing), advances in techniques to deliver it (technology) will be tested to improve the efficiency with which it is delivered. For this program, that fundamental premise was
