Description

This course evaluates avionics systems by examining the systems architecture. The design of subsystems and interfaces are reviewed with particular emphasis on the integration of sensors and use of multiplex bus architecture. Active navigation aids such as ILS, TACAN, DME, VOR are introduced but greater emphasis is placed on the more modern integrated navigation systems using GPS, INS, DOPPLER and AIR DATA sensor components. This material will focus on applied real time computing implementing a discrete Kalman filter to achieve sensor integration.
