This document reports on the existing individual and integrated avionics cockpit controls of contemporary aircraft. Through failure-criticality and cost-benefit analyses, it examines the potential of a Standard Avionics Integrated Control System (SAICS) as a replacement for existing individual controls. The report provides information on existing individual cockpit avionics control mean times between failures (MTBFs), costs, weights, and sizes. It also provides MTBF, cost, space, and weight estimates for a unique integrated control, a standard avionics integrated control, and a manual back-up control panel for both . The study addresses primarily hardware, not software, and places emphasis on avionics control rather than display. It is assumed that installation of a SAICS would begin in five candidate tactical aircraft some time after 1985. (Author)
