Modular Avionics Packaging (MAP).

Authors: GENERAL ELECTRIC CO UTICA N Y AIRCRAFT EQUIPMENT DIV
 
Abstract: In considering Modular Avionics Packaging, the objective of the General Electric study program was to develop an avionics equipment packaging concept, compatible with MIL-E-5400, and applicable to multiplatform avionics requirements stretching into the 1990's. Specific elements evaluated were: Standard Avionics Module (SAM) requirements and concepts; integrated racks and WRA requirements and concepts; and airframe interface considerations. The V/STOL Type A platform was used as the driving requirement in performing trade-off studies. Key design objectives and constraints included the following: Minimizing installed avionics weight and volume; Mechanical simplicity; Significant improvement in Reliability and Maintainability; Eliminating single-point failure modes; Direct access to Weapons Replaceable Modules (WRM); Modules capable of being conduction-cooled; Significant improvement in thermal performance; and Improved testability at all hardware levels.
