Aging Avionics in Military Aircraft


Free Download National Research Council, Division on Engineering and Physical Sciences, "Aging Avionics in Military Aircraft"
English | 2001 | pages: 77 | ISBN: 0309074495 | PDF | 0,5 mb
Extending the life of an airframe has proven challenging and costly. Extending the life of an avionics system, however, is one of the most critical and difficult aspects of extending total aircraft system lifetimes. Critical components go out of production or become obsolete, and many former suppliers of military-grade components have gone out of business. From 1986 to 1996, for example, the percentage of discontinued military/aerospace electronic devices nearly doubled-from 7.5 percent to 13.5 percent. In addition, legacy avionics systems, which were designed to meet requirements of the past, generally lack the full capability to perform new missions, meet new threats, or perform well in the new information-intensive battlefield environments.
