An Overview of Aircraft Integrated Control Technology

Abstract

Integration of flight control systems with other aircraft subsystems has been shown to significantly enhance the ability of aircraft to achieve mission goals. This report examines the scope and current status of aircraft integrated control technology, through an overview of research programs which have developed Integrated Flight and Propulsion Control (IFPC) systems, Integrated Flight and Fire Control (IFFC) systems, and enabling technologies. Trends observed within integrated control are commented on, and some suggestions are made regarding future DSTO involvement in this field.
