AVIONICS

• Avionics is Aviation Electronics


• Avionics are the electronic systems used
on aircraft, artificial satellites, and spacecraft.
Avionic systems include communications,
navigation, the display and management of
multiple systems, and the hundreds of systems
that are fitted to aircraft to perform individual
functions.
AVIONICS
• The components of Avionics are Navigation,
Communication and Surveillance.
• Navigation is the field of study that focuses on the
process of monitoring and controlling the movement
of a craft or vehicle from one place to another.
• Communication is the art of conveying meanings
from one entity or group to another through the use of
mutually understood signs, symbols and semiotic
rules.
• Surveillance is the process of monitoring the behavior
for the purpose of managing or directing.
