Abstract

Typical avionics systems today are structured in a federated architecture. Upgrading such systems has proven unwieldy and expensive, even as the advance of technology and increased functional requirements have made upgrades more imperative. Of particular concern is the systemic integration required for information superiority through multi-source data fusion. To improve this situation, the Maritime Avionics Subsystems and Technology Scalable Open Architecture Project (MAST SOAP) has designed a distributed avionics architecture. It is characterized by general-purpose hardware resources linked by an extensible communications network, an Object Request Broker infrastructure, and commercially available components with open interface standards. This paper outlines our approach to legacy system upgrades in the context of an open distributed architecture, presents the lessons we have learned that are applicable to such a system evolution, and discusses the performance implications involved in the use of such an architecture for an avionics system.
发展航空电子系统从联合到分布式架构
当今典型的航空电子系统采用联邦体系结构。事实证明,升级此类系统既笨重又昂贵,尽管技术的进步和功能需求的增加使得升级变得更加必要。特别值得关注的是通过多源数据融合实现信息优势所需的系统集成。为了改善这种情况,海上航空电子子系统和技术可扩展开放体系结构项目(MAST SOAP)设计了一个分布式航空电子体系结构。它的特点是由可扩展通信网络、Object Request Broker基础设施和具有开放接口标准的商业可用组件连接的通用硬件资源。本文概述了我们在开放分布式体系结构的背景下对遗留系统进行升级的方法,展示了我们所学到的适用于这种系统演变的经验教训,并讨论了在航空电子系统中使用这种体系结构所涉及的性能影响。
