Attempting to Understand the Issues to Effectively Acquire Subsystem Controls

To understand the issues involved, we look at three subsystems that were acquired for LEDA: I. RFQ Vacuum Control, II. RFQ Resonance Cooling Control System, III. High Power RF Control.

For each system we will look at the function provided and the approach taken to divide the work between the provider and LANL as well as the time taken to perform the functions of requirement development, application, and integration.

Finally we suggest approaches that may reduce the time to complete a fully integrated and maintainable subsystem.
