NOTE System Architecture is a set of logical and physical principles used to achieve a mission within a given environment. From System Architecture are derived components that can be subsystems, software products, human‐based products like crew or operators or hardware product like mechanical structures, electronic boards, and chemicals. The scope of the standards spans from the system, to sub‐systems and software products. Other types of components and especially those related to human beings and to hardware parts are not within the scope of this standard.
