Results for tag: "Integrated Modular Avionics"

Integrated Modular Avionics (IMA) is a technology used in avionics systems to reduce the size, weight, and complexity of aircraft systems. It is based on the concept of integrating multiple avionics functions into a single, modular system. This allows for greater flexibility and scalability, as well as improved reliability and maintainability. IMA systems are typically composed of multiple line replaceable units (LRUs) that are connected via a high-speed data bus. This allows for the sharing of data and resources between LRUs, resulting in improved performance and reduced cost. IMA technology is used in a variety of aircraft, including commercial airliners, military aircraft, and unmanned aerial vehicles. It is also used in other applications such as space exploration and satellite communications. Notable companies in the Integrated Modular Avionics market include Honeywell, Rockwell Collins, Thales, and Airbus. Show Less Read more
