1.1 A number of engineering disciplines associated with aircraft designs affect multiple aircraft systems or have an impact on most aspects of the design. For example, aviation software is present in virtually all aircraft systems and often performs functions that have a direct impact on the safe operation of Defence aircraft. The airworthiness design requirements associated with these disciplines are referred to in the DASDRM as 'integrated design requirements'.
1.2 Given the ubiquitous nature of these engineering disciplines, the airworthiness design requirements prescribed in the Authority recognised Airworthiness Codes are often generic and require considerable tailoring to satisfy the requirements of a particular aircraft for its intended configuration, role and operating environment. Consequently, for these engineering disciplines, the Authority has prescribed airworthiness design requirements to define the tailoring required for Defence's unique CRE.
1.3 Section 2 of the DASDRM presents the Authority prescribed airworthiness design requirements for the following integrated aircraft design engineering disciplines:
electromagnetic environmental effects,
equipment environmental qualification,
