Abstract:

This report explores the implications of fiber optic interconnections and intelligent i.e., microprocessor-based communication interface units on the architecture of distributed processing systems for future avionics applications. The study consisted of eight technical tasks Task 1 Survey the F-15, F-16, F-18, B-1, Space Shuttle Orbiter, and AMST Data Multiplex Subsystems Task 2 Identify Bus Bandwidth-Related Tradeoffs in DAIS, DPM, GPMS, and HXDP Architectures Task 3 List Typical Avionic Multiplex Subsystem Requirements Task 4 Define Requirements Benchmark Scenario Task 5 Design Candidate Avionic Multiplex Subsystem Architectures Task 6 Evaluate Candidate Avionic Multiplex Subsystem Architectures Task 7 Compare Selected Multiplex Subsystem with DAIS, DPM, GPMS, and HXDP and Task 8 Project Impact of Higher Interconnection Bandwidth and Intelligent Communication Interfaces on Future Avionic System Designs.
