Introduction :

Introduction to Avionics Systems written by R.P.G. Collinson is very

useful for Aeronautical Engineering (Aero) students and also who are all
having an interest to develop their knowledge in the field of Space craft
and Space Engineering. This Book provides an clear examples on each
and every topics covered in the contents of the book to provide an every
user those who are read to develop their knowledge. The text presents
the topic in a clear, simple, practical, logical and cogent fashion that
provides the students with insights into theory as well as applications to
practical problems.

Description :

The systems are analyzed from the physical laws governing their
behaviour, system design and response can be understood and the
performance examined. Worked examples are given to show how the
theory can be applied and an engineering "feel" gained from a simplified
model.

Physical explanations are also set out and the text is structured so that
readers can "fast forward" through the maths, if they so wish.
Introduction to Avionic Systems, Third Edition meets the needs of
graduates or equivalent, entering the aerospace industries who have
been educated in a wide range of disciplines, for example, electronic
engineering, computing science, mathematics, physics, mechanical and
aeronautical engineering. It also meets the needs of engineers at all
levels working in particular areas of avionics who require an
understanding of other avionic systems. Technology is continually
advancing and this new third edition has been revised and updated and
the presentation improved, where appropriate, The systems coverage
has also been increased and a new section on helicopter flight control
added.

The advantage of using avionics in civil aircraft.

 Reducing the crew workload by automating tasks. 
The reduction in weight can be translated to increased passengers or
long range. 
 To enable the flight crew to carry out the aircraft mission safely and
efficiently. 
 All weather operation and reduction in maintenance costs.

The advantage of using avionics in military aircraft. 

 A single seat fighter or strike aircraft is lighter and Costs less than an
equivalent two seat version. 
 Elimination of the second crew member (navigator/observer/crew
member) results in reduction in training costs. 
 Improved aircraft performance and control and handling and
reduction in maintenance costs 
 Secure communication.

Electronic Warfare :

Few applications - if any - of rugged embedded computing are more

demanding than Electronic Warfare. Mission success or failure can be
determined by elapsed time measured in microseconds. It's also an
application that continues to evolve on a frequent basis. What's needed
are high performance, low SWAP solutions based on open systems - a
field in which Abaco Systems is the leader.

Whether it's Signals Intelligence (SIGINT) or Command, Control,

Communications, Computer, Intelligence, Surveillance and
Reconnaissance (C4ISR) applications, you can trust Abaco Systems to
reduce your program risk, cost and time-to-deployment.

Sonar :

From front-end data acquisition to back-end signal processing, we have

a range of solutions that enable the rapid development of complex sonar
systems. Our understanding of how to help you minimize signal to-noise
ratio-through silicon separation, power filtering, signal conditioning and
especially phase matching - is unequaled, as is our expertise in
digital/analog and analog/digital conversion.
Abaco Systems sonar solutions have been chosen by the industry's
leading prime contractors and are deployed on hundreds of vessels
around the world.

Radar :

At the heart of radar systems is advanced digital signal processing -

and that's a real strength for Abaco Systems. It's not just about our
extensive range of hardware solutions, though: we understand that the
real challenge lies in application development. That's why we
complement our range of DSP boards with the industry-leading AXIS -
Advanced Multiprocessor Integrated Software development
environment to reduce risk, time and cost in development, debugging
and testing.

You'll find Abaco Systems radar solutions widely deployed in ship and
airborne radar systems, fixed and mobile radio systems, and signals
intelligence equipment.
