The recently defined Tug avionics system takes maximum advantage of projected technology advances to attain: low system weight; power system capacity essentially independent of mission duration; sensors for rendezvous, docking, and navigation update; all attitude communications; onboard checkout and redundancy management; and modular fault tolerant computer control. The requirements, selection trades, and configurations are discussed for the major subsystems: data management, guidance navigation and control, communications, rendezvous and docking, and electrical power. The integrated avionics system and the interfaces with the payload, Shuttle and ground are described.
