Avionics
Avionics is a
portmanteau which literally means
aviation electronics. In essence it comprises all electronic systems designed for use on an aircraft. At a basic level this comprises
communications,
navigation and the display and management of multiple systems. It also comprises the literally hundreds of systems that are fitted to aircraft to meet individual roles. These can be as simple as a search light for a
police helicopter or as complicated as the tactical system for an
Airborne Early Warning platform. Avionics also refers to the electronics on artificial satellites and spacecraft.
