Avionic System Integration of Advanced Military Aircraft with Emphasis on Electromagnetic Compatibility

Abstract

When in September 1 9 7 5 the prototype 0^ of the PANAVIA "Tornado", (Multi Role Com­ bat Aircraft = MRCA), took off the runway for the maiden flight, this set the signal for starting to close the system loop between Aerodynamics Flight Control Avionics in the air. A/C was the first MRCA fully equipped with the especially de­ signed Avionics system, and had to demon­ strate the optimised co-operation and com­ patibility of all airborne systems.
