Avionic sensor and control functions have increased in number and complexity to the point at which avionics accounts for about one-third of the total airborne weapon system costs. The capability of avionics technology continues to increase by an order of magnitude every few years, but overall avionic system design architecture lags in the ability to fully exploit new technology and knowledge, specifically in the partitioning of the avionics-as-a-whole into subsystems for implementation by engineers in many disciplines, and in the integration of subsystems into the whole. This paper advocates a concerted effort by the avionics community, to reexamine system partitioning considering the interrelationship of subsystems in the light of new operational concepts, new knowledge in information and control theory, and different concepts of integration such as multi-sensor information fusion and integrated control and display interface with the crew.
