作战飞机由于过去一直沿用硬线控制系统触发和发射各种导弹、炸弹或其它外挂武器,所以要改变飞机的武器装备数量是很困难的。但是,美国海军期望采用新的微处理机控制系统来大大简化这一问题。新控制系统主要通过软件满足改变机载武器数量的需要。 最早装备这一新型武器管理装置的美国海军飞机是麦克唐纳·道格拉斯公司生产的F—18攻击机。在1978年中期作了初次飞行。 管理装置由下述三个基本部件组成 Combat aircraft have had to change the aircraft’s weaponry as it has been hard to trigger and launch a variety of missiles, bombs or other off-the-shelf weapons in the past. However, the U.S. Navy expects to adopt a new microprocessor control system to greatly simplify this issue. The new control system mainly through software to meet the need to change the number of airborne weapons. The first Navy aircraft to be equipped with this new weapon management device was the F-18 attack aircraft manufactured by McDonnell Douglas. The first flight was made in mid-1978. The management device consists of the following three basic components
