Abstract
An aircraft avionics system (10) for an aircraft, comprising includes a mission system (2), controlled by an open systems mission computer with a tactical communications system (320) and a tactical navigation system (220), The avionics system also includes a civil system (I), controlled by a flight management system with a civil communications system (310) and a civil navigation system (210), The mission system (2) is logically separated from the civil system (I) through separation of a navigation system (20) of the aircraft into a civil navigation system (210) and a tactical navigation system (220), and through separation of a communications system (30) of the aircraft (100) into the tactical communications system (320) and the civil communications system (310), and through the independence of the open systems mission computer from the flight management system, The separation allows the civil system (I) to operate and be updated independently from the mission system (2).
