MB-339CD Aircraft Development COTS Integration in a Modern Avionics Architecture

Abstract

Obsolescence of electromechanical instruments and navigation sensors is one of the main reasons for new avionics development in military training aircraft upgrade programs. The growing requirements for advanced trainers in the role of lead-in-fighter aircraft push the development of integrated avionics system where cockpit displays mission computer solid-state navigation sensors communication transceivers and flight data recorders are extensively employed. The use of COTS (Commercial Of The Shelf) solutions allows to mitigate components obsolescence and to meet the new operational requirements at an affordable cost with reasonable development risk. The purpose of this paper is to provide an overview of bow these concepts have been applied in the development of an innovative modular and reliable avionics system.
