The US government would like to purchase a flying machine. This machine needs to be capable of being operated by a reasonably intelligent man. It should be able to fly for a distance of at least 1 mile and a height about tree top distance above the ground. The flying machine should be no more than 100 feet long and 75 feet wide at a minimum speed of 35 mph. This machine needs to be completed and ready to use within one year. Payment for this flying machine will be $100,000, payable upon successful flight and delivery of the machine to the government.
(1) Make a list of all the system (not subsystem) requirements based on the above paragraph.
A) Hardware requirements: Hardware requirements for such a manually operated flying machine will include the body of the flying machine, its wings, sensors, electronic controllers and an engine. The body of the machine should be made of some lightweight material so that it is easy to take off or land, in addition to being aerodynamic. Sensors will be required for the flying machine to be aware of its surroundings and avoid obstacles in its pathway. Electronic controllers are essential so that the machine can be operated from a remote location. Finally, it should have an engine so that it can fly reasonable distances.
B) Software requirements: Software requirements will consist of flight control software, telecommunication software, and an operating system for the flying machine. A flight control software will be necessary so that the person operating the flying machine is in control of the various functions of the machine. Telecommunication software will be required to enable transmission of data from the flying machine to ground control. An operating system is necessary to keep the overall functioning of the flying machine software in order.
(2) Which "requirements" need more information? How would you revise the requirement statement to make it a true requirement?
(3) For each requirement, discuss how you might test the requirement.
