A Consideration of Obsolescence within the Design of Modern Avionics Test Systems

Abstract

Considering obsolescence in avionics systems firstly leads to the obsolescence of the so called prime equipment. This means the equipment of which an avionics system is built. Normally the support equipment is more or less ignored or the analysis is postponed to a later date. Our solution-covering the requirements of the end user of our systems-consists of a design concept covering the test systems critical interfaces, test system standards and the philosophy of standardized units. This approach ensures the flexibility in hardware and software to adapt quickly as needed on the commercial market and to guarantee the long term support as needed on the military market.
