The Effect of Technology on the Supportability and Cost of Avionics Equipment

Abstract

This paper examines the question whether the advance from solid state to microminiaturized devices has made avionics equipment more costly and less supportable. It reports the results of an analysis that relates electronic technology and its maturation to the reliability, maintainability, and cost of some thirty items of avionics equipment.
