Transitioning to Integrated Modular Avionics with a Mission Management System

Abstract

This paper presents an incremental approach towards the adoption of an Integrated Modular Avionics (IMA) architecture via the implementation of a Mission Management System using present-day Commercial Off-The Shelf (COTS) technology. While standardized IMA modules are planned to be developed in the medium term the approach presented enables the maximum benefits to be obtained from those aspects of the IMA concepts which are the most advanced while exploiting the availability of today's COTS hardware. This approach is embodied in the Mission Management System which is under development at ESC.
