AFDX Tutorial - Protocols and Implementations
This 24-page tutorial provides an in-depth technical review of AFDX protocols and implementations. One thousand times faster than previous ARINC 429 communications, Avionics Full DupleX Switched Ethernet (AFDX) builds upon the original AFDX concepts for using Ethernet in avionics, as introduced by Airbus. AFDX defines the electrical and protocol specifications (IEEE 802.3 and ARINC 664, Part 7) for the exchange of data be­tween Avionics Subsystems.

Free White Paper: Selecting a Bus Analyzer
As avionics buses on military and commercial aircraft become more varied and complex, it becomes even more important that a bus analyzer be used during the design, deployment, and maintenance of avionics systems. Today, aircraft may contain MIL-STD-1553, ARINC 429, CAN, and ARINC 664 (AFDX) buses as part of the overall system. Choosing an analyzer needs to be a part of the overall system design from the earliest part of the project.

A Data Driven Approach to UAV Architecture
By focusing first and foremost on data flow within and between software components, UAV system designers unlock software architectures from a specific technology and to be designed with an unprecedented level of flexibility while improving overall system reliability and sustainability. Designing and building an unmanned autonomous vehicle (UAV) is one of the most difficult problems in engineering; and it is particularly challenging from a...

Coming Soon - Thermal Management in Today’s and Future Systems Architectures
Thermal management is becoming the critical issue in successful deployment of military systems. Components are increasing in speed at an ever faster pace. Compliance to thermal requirements is challenging and requires special design considerations. Therefore, packaging designers need to rethink thermal considerations and provide innovative methods for thermal compliance.

Commercial-off-the-Shelf Integration Issue Paper
COTS software integration efforts have been prevalent in the Automated Information System/Management Information System (AIS/MIS) environment, as opposed to the Mission Critical Computer Resource (MCCR) environment. Since COTS software integration is relatively new to MCCR systems, this paper addresses AIS/MIS systems' COTS software integration experiences.
