AbstractAdvanced Avionics will explore the hallmarks of next-generation avionics. It will address the future of systems architecture and, by examining the rapidly evolving issue of certification and qualification, it will show how it is being applied in the current market. This move towards advanced avionics architectures has been a direct effect of the increasing cost of procuring and supporting avionics systems, with the result being a distinct move towards more open systems. Evidently, changes in mission readiness and requirements have driven the trend towards interoperability and integration. Therefore, this conference will show how these capabilities are being applied on the battlefield, giving country specific and tri-service perspectives and requirements for avionics systems. The latest procurement initiatives in avionics will also be addressed, looking at the modernisation of design and the use of commercial off the shelf hardware and software and lifecycle affordability.
Programme highlights:
- IDENTIFY the key advancements in modular avionics systems
- DISCOVER how to meet the challenge of standardisation and certification
- MAXIMISE mission effectiveness through lessons learned
- ASSESS the current capability as well as looking to future avionics development
