Avionics system are composed of multiple electronic device that performs important missions the number of electronic devices for the performance of aircraft has been gradually increasing. As a result, cost of development, maintenance and operating have increased. To solve this problem, technology paradigm of avionics has been shifting from federated avionics systems that manage to each system independently to IMA(Integrated Modular Avionics) systems. Unlike federated systems, fault tolerance becomes an essential technology in IMA systems. Because each aircraft features integrated in the an IMA system, a fault can jeopardize the entire system. In this paper, we define faults which can occur on the ARINC 653 based IMA system first, and design the ARINC 653 compliant HM(health Monitoring) system for the system can continue to operate be normal when occur a fault.

The development trend of jet fighter's avionics system architecture is the digitization of subsystem component functions, increased RF sensor sharing, fiber optic channel networks, and modularized integrated structures. The avionics system architecture of the fifth generation jet fighters (F-22, F-35) has evolved into an integrated modular avionics system based on computing function integration and RF integrated sensor systems. The integrated modular avionics system of jet fighters should provide improved combat power, fault tolerance, and ease of jet fighter control. To this aim, this paper presents the direction and requirements of the next-generation jet fighter's avionics system architecture through analysis of the fifth generation jet fighter's avionics system architecture. The core challenge of the integrated modularized avionic system architecture requirements for next-generation fighters is to build a platform that integrates major components and sensors into aircraft. In other words, the architecture of the next-generation fighters is standardization of systems, sensor integration of each subsystem through open interfaces, integration of functional elements, network integration, and integration of pilots and fighters to improve their ability to respond and control.

Recently, avionics systems are being developed as integrated modular architecture applying the modular integration design of the functional unit to reduce maintenance costs and increase operating performance. Additionally, a partitioning operating system based on virtualization technology was used to process various mission control functions. In virtualization technology, the CPU processing load distribution is a key consideration. Especially, the uncertainty of the I/O processing time is a risk factor in the design of reliable avionics systems. In this paper, we examine the influence of the I/O processing method by comparing and analyzing the CPU processing load by the I/O processing method through use of case analysis and applying it to the example of spatial-temporal partitioning.

In this paper, we survey the works related to the system architecture of avionics and extract characteristics from the related works. On the basis of the investigation, we propose an integrated modular avionics (IMA) architecture that can be used for current avionic upgrades and future avionic developments based on the IMA Core system. To verify the feasibility of the proposed IMA architecture, we have developed the prototype of the IMA Core system that consists of both the common hardware module and the IMA software. It was verified that the developed prototype with the common hardware module contributes to the improvement of maintainability because it can save the time and expenses for the development and can reduce the number of types of hardware modules when compared with Federated architecture. It was also confirmed that the developed prototype can save not only overall system weight, size, and power consumption but also the number of hardware types because the IMA software can support the integrated processing where the single processing hardware module can process multiple software applications.

항공기 내에서 단일코어 기반의 임무컴퓨터를 포함하는 연합형 항공전자 모델은 항공기의 임무 요구도 증대와 전장 환경의 변화에 따라 기내 데이터 양이 급격히 증가하여 비행 운용 프로그램(OFP)의 실시간성 및 처리성능에 한계를 보인다. 또한 분산된 임무컴퓨터의 공간점유와 무게 및 높은 전력소비가 발생하므로, 본 연구에서는 실시간 운영체제 모듈을 적용한 멀티코어 기반의 통합 모듈형 시스템(IMA) 플랫폼을 제시하여 비용과 체적을 감소시킨 개발 환경을 제공한다.

The integrated modular avionics (IMA) system has quite a number of line repalceable moduels (LRMs) in a cabinet. The LRM performs functions like line replaceable units (LRUs) in federated architecture. The video processing module (VPM) acts as a video bus bridge and gateway of ARINC 818 avionics digital video bus (ADVB). The VPM is a LRM in IMA core system. The ARINC 818 video interface and protocol standard was developed for high-bandwidth, low-latency and uncompressed digital video transmission. FPGAs of the VPM include video processing function such as ARINC 818 to DVI, DVI to ARINC 818 convertor, video decoder and overlay. In this paper we explain how to implement VPM's Hardware. Also we show the verification results about VPM functions and IP core performance.

ILS(Instrument Landing System) is the international standard system for approach and landing guidance. ILS was adopted by ICAO(International Civil Aviation Organization) in 1947 and is currently being used in commercial systems. To design the digital transmitter and receiver modules that can be mounted in the integrated ILS, we propose the digital design methods of digital double AM modulator and demodulator using FPGA chip, DDS(Direct Digital Synthesizer) for generation of sampling clock, demodulator of DDC(Digital Down Converter) structure, and spectrum analyzer using DSP chip. We demonstrate the efficiency of the proposed design method through experiments using developed transmitter and receiver modules. This system can be used as a high-performance commercial system.
