avionics is a complex and technically challenging field which requires a
high level of competence from all those involved in the aircraft design
and maintenance. As the various systems on board an aircraft evolve to
become more and more inter-dependent and integrated, it is becoming
increasingly important for designers to have a holistic view and
knowledge of aircraft systems in order to produce an effective design
for their individual components and effectively combine the systems
involved.
This book introduces the military roles expected of
aircraft types and describes the avionics systems required to fulfil
these roles. These range from technology and architectures through to
navigations systems, sensors, computing architectures and the
human-machine interface. It enables students to put together
combinations of systems in order to perform specific military roles.
- Sister volume to the authors’ previous successful title ‘Civil Avionics Systems’
- Covers a wide range of military aircraft roles and systems applications
- Offers clear and concise system descriptions
- Includes case studies and examples from current projects
- Features full colour illustrations detailing aircraft display systems
Military Avionics Systems
will appeal to practitioners in the aerospace industry across many
disciplines such as aerospace engineers, designers, pilots, aircrew,
maintenance engineers, ground crew, navigation experts, weapons
developers and instrumentation developers. It also provides a valuable
reference source to students in the fields of systems and aerospace
engineering and avionics.
