Due to funding pressures, program and personnel realignments, existing helicopters are going to be required to remain in service longer. However, the need to maintain, upgrade and enhance the relative stature of the U.S. arsenal and their expanding missions continues to exist. Currently, the H- 60 mission avionics systems utilize processors that implement the required functionality. However, avionics microprocessors are hampered in two significant areas: performance, and the fact they are 16-bit computers, which limits the memory and size of the operand among other things. The fact that these processors have fallen behind can be readily seen in today's systems: the response time is degraded due to insufficient processing through-put, the types of missions that can be executed on a given flight are limited, and often old features must be eliminated in order to add new ones. These deficiencies reduce mission effectiveness, limit aircraft potential and expose pilots to increased risk.
