A review of the S-3A Project as the forerunner of software-integrated avionics systems leads the author to conclude that the guideposts of technical change are signalling a revolutionary change in the system development process itself. Advanced avionics systems are viewed as software rather than hardware based, requiring a development process which takes advantage of the greatly increased flexibilities offered for designing to a fixed cost and schedule. Examples are cited from the successful S-3A program of 'software-first' influences which have a highly beneficial impact on total system design and method of implementation.
