Increasingly constrained budgets in the defense community, both DoD and DOE, have created a need to emphasize affordability in the development of future weapons systems and components. Increased use of commercially compatible components will play an important role, but there will always remain a need for specialized production, especially at the system level. We will present on-going work at Sandia National Laboratories (referred to from here as Sandia) aimed at insuring the affordability of low-volume, defence-specific systems.
