Avionics Full Duplex Switched Ethernet
11/10/03 06:03 am Msg: 136904 of 136905

Avionics Full Duplex Switched Ethernet (AFDX) is a brand new bus protocol used to interconnect avionics subsystems in the new generation A380 wide-body aircraft.

It might be worthwhile to check out the new AFDX white paper under documents on the CES web page (http://www.ces.ch).

Some excerpts:

"CES has also a long relationship with EADS Airbus Toulouse participating for the last 15 years in the simulation, flight and ground test programs.This long term relation has facilitated a cooperation with Airbus leading to the development of the AFDX product line covering all the applications requiring development, simulation, test, validation and production control of AFDX connected equipment and switches."

"The AFDX concept and IMA architecture has introduced for the first time network technology in avionics systems. Specifications have provided the AFDX with the required deterministic performance. The plan is now to capitalize on such effort and introduce AFDX in other aircraft program in the near future (new aircraft and major retrofit). Evolution of the CES AFDX resources will be easy to make taking into account the design and validation effort performed in the early stage of the project. Enhancements. e.g. additional functionality can be added without complete re design of the AFDX PMC. For a given set of functions, technology insertion will lead as well to cost reduction for future AFDX projects. In term of support through the A380 life cycle, CES has put in place a specific plan of warranty and maintenance with Airbus. Such a plan has satisfied Airbus obsolescence management requirements."

There might be something more than 3rd party eqt. sales going on cross the pond.

Remember when you see the kaka bird again,
