Excerpt: The Apollo Guidance Computer (AGC) provided onboard computation and control for guidance, navigation, and control of the Command Module (CM) and Lunar Module (LM) spacecraft of the Apollo program. It is notable for having been one of the first IC based computers. The AGC was developed in the early 1960s for the Apollo program by the MIT Instrumentation Laboratory. The display and keyboard (DSKY) interface of the Apollo Guidance Computer mounted on the control panel of the Command Module, with the Flight Director Attitude Indicator (FDAI) above. Partial list of numeric codes for verbs and nouns in the Apollo Guidance Computer. For a quick reference, they were printed on a side panel. Each flight to the Moon (with the exception of Apollo 8, which didn't take a Lunar Module on its lunar orbit mission) had two AGCs, one each in the Command Module and the Lunar Module. The AGC in the Command Module was at the center of that spacecraft's guidance ... Read more

Product Description
This study used manufacturer records, aircraft investigation information, and a tailored subset of general aviation activity survey data to assess how the transition to electronic primary flight display (PFD) avionics has affected the safety of light aircraft. The study also evaluated the resources and requirements supporting the transition to this new technology. The results of this study suggest that, for the aircraft and time period studied, the introduction of glass cockpit PFDs has not yet resulted in the anticipated improvement in safety when compared to similar aircraft with conventional instruments. Advanced avionics and electronic displays can increase the safety potential of general aviation aircraft operations by providing pilots with more operational and safety-related information and functionality, but more effort is needed to ensure that pilots are prepared to realize that potential. The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), manufacturers, aviation industry groups, and academia have an established history of collaboration through the FAA Industry Training Standards (FITS) program initiative for supporting aircraft model-specific and scenario-based training techniques that would teach pilots “higher-order thinking skills.” However, the FAA has changed the focus of the FITS initiative and has to date relied on manufacturers and commercial vendors to deliver the equipment-specific training originally envisioned for FITS. Adoption of uniform equipment-specific training elements by the FAA to ensure pilots have adequate knowledge of aircraft equipment operation and malfunctions, as well as improved reporting of equipment malfunctions and service difficulties, is likely to improve the safety of general aviation operations beyond those involving aircraft with glass cockpit displays. However, such actions are particularly important in order to achieve the potential safety benefits associated with advanced cockpit technologies in light aircraft. ... Read more

Product Description
High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Integrated Modular Avionics represent real-time computer network airborne systems. This network consists of a number of computing modules capable of supporting numerous applications of differing criticality levels. The IMA concept proposes an integrated architecture with application software portable across an assembly of common hardware modules. An IMA architecture imposes multiple requirements on the underlying Operating System. It is believed that the IMA concept originated with the Avionics design of the Fourth generation jet fighters. It has been in use in fighters such as Lockheed Martin F-22 and F-35, or Dassault Aviation Rafale in the beginning of the '90s. Standardization efforts were ongoing at this time, but no final documents were issued then. ... Read more

Product Description
Surface- or ground-penetrating radar has recently come to public knowledge in criminal investigations but has been a developing remote sensing field for some time. The author describes here for the nonspecialist user or engineer all the key elements of this technique, which span several disciplines including electromagnetics, geophysics and signal processing. The book will help any user to asses the potential of the technique and currently available technology and to apply them effectively.

This is the first comprehensive treatment of radar which penetrates the surface of the ground or man-made structures. The technique is increasingly used to examine archaeological sites, engineering structures (e.g. bridges, roads) etc., and has come to some prominence in forensic investigations and for the detection of landmines. The book presents the principles and applications with emphasis on a designer's practical approach to its use. The different types of radar, propagation through different materials and methods for signal processing are all covered. There is a survey across the wide range of applications in which the technique is used, whilst the final chapter describes commercially available radar systems. ... Read more

Product Description
This is a book discussing the present state of the art of avionic systems in a manner intelligible to both the student and the technician. Avionics was a major factor in preserving the world from Nazi domination in the 1940s. It was only in 1935 that Dr Watson Watt's team carried out the famous experiment at the BBC's Daventry transmitter and received a signal reflected back from a Heyford bomber approaching Daventry. The 50 years since this event have seen scientists and engineers at research centres and manufacturer's works combine computer technology with developments in this field to produce systems of unbelievable capability and reliability. ...

Extrait : Avionics Full DupleX switched ethernet (AFDX) est un réseau Ethernet redondant et fiabilisé, développé et standardisé par les industriels européens de l'avionique pour équiper l'Airbus A380. Il s'agit d'un système destiné à servir de support aux communications internes à l'avion, et non aux communications avec l'extérieur. Les communications internes sont essentiellement les données échangées entre les divers composants de l'avionique. Dans le monde des communications classiques, l'utilisation de « réseaux en couches » a permis de rendre les applications indépendantes des systèmes de communication qu'elles utilisent. C'est ce qu'on appelle l'abstraction des moyens de communication. Cependant les besoins de l'aéronautique sont dictés par des contraintes particulièrement sévères de fiabilité et de redondance. De ce fait les systèmes de communication des avions utilisent des liens de communication et des protocoles spécifiques, adaptés à leurs exigences particulières. Dans la pratique, l'avionique utilise principalement deux catégories de communications numériques embarquées : L'évolution du marché aéronautique conduit à réduire les coûts, à utiliser des notions de modularité, de réutilisation et de partage des ressources, comme savent le faire les systèmes d'exploitation modernes. L'objectif de l'AFDX est donc de répondre à ces changements, en prenant en compte des objectifs contradict...http://booksllc.net/?l=fr ... Read more
