Under the management of Wright Patterson AFB and Naval Air Systems Command, Marconi Avionics have developed a core set of standard Air Data Computer (ADC) modules. These are packaged into four basic configurations which satisfy the retrofit Air Data Computer requirements of over 30 variants of mature aircraft. Now that this combined USAF and USN standardization program has entered into its production phase, it seems appropriate to examine its applicability to the remainder of the world's aircraft. Whilst the current simplex SCADC configurations are usually readily applicable to other mature aircraft, newer fly-by-wire aircraft typically require duplex or triplex air data systems and this creates new scope for SCADC. This paper outlines the benefits of retrofitting multi-channel systems with a standardized product, the difficulties encountered in doing this and the inherent flexibility of SCADC in satisfying such requirements.
