Integrated Modular and Distributed Avionics Take Flight
Republished by Military Embedded Systems
For embedded computing applications in aerospace, Integrated Modular Avionics (IMA) are an important driver in achieving flexibility. With distributed avionics gaining new popularity as a way of achieving IMA, aircraft designers are taking advantage of recent advances in packaging to make distributed systems simpler and more cost-effective. Commercial aerospace applications are moving beyond traditional protocols like ARINC 429 to higher speed Ethernet-based protocols like ARINC 664 and 629; likewise, the U.S. military is widely adopting Ethernet to take advantage of the high-volume experience in the commercial world. Already, we are seeing the release of 40-Gb/s Ethernet for military applications as application demands move beyond gigabit and 10G capabilities.
