Integrated Avionics

Abstract

The gradual evolution of the current proposition of integrated modular avionics (IMA) envisages devices catering for the computing power, memory, and interface needs of most, if not all, of an aircraft's data processing functions. They are supplied as standard modules strategically located around the aircraft in racks or cabinets with subdivisions between functions being more in the nature of boundaries between software modules than the separation between boxes in a rack.
