现代战斗机日益广泛地使用先进的电子设备,因而具有明显的性能等级,但也造成生产成本高、维修最大、飞机使用率低。目前,飞机设计的重点正开始从纯性能研究转向成本低、维修方便、司靠性高的武器系统的研制。“宝石柱计划”的经理John。c。Ostaard和总工程师Ron Szkody在本文中讨论了航空电子综合化的问题 Modern fighter aircraft are increasingly using advanced electronic equipment and therefore have significant levels of performance, but also result in high production costs, maximum maintenance, and low aircraft usage. At present, the focus of aircraft design is beginning to shift from pure performance research to the development of low-cost, easy-to-maintain and highly reliable weapon systems. Manager of the “Gem Columns Project” John. c. Ostaard and Chief Engineer Ron Szkody discuss avionics integration issues in this article
