<strong>Modular</strong> Flight Control & Guidance Computer<br />

• significant reduction of hardware: :<br />

� integration of functions, enabled by computing per<strong>for</strong>mance (mixed<br />

criticality levels!)<br />

� → reduced amount of interfacing (computer ↔ computer, lane ↔ lane)<br />

• more efficient use of retained hardware:<br />

� more paths through system: move away from rigid lane structure<br />

� resource sharing, multi-use I/O hardware<br />

� no single-thread operation → reduced output h/w redundancy<br />

� graceful degradation (shedding of lower criticality functions (FG) to retain<br />

higher (FC))<br />

• lower cost hardware:<br />

� no “ARINC-65X” backplane databus, connectors, module lever<br />

• strict separation of I/O from computational functions<br />

• dissimilarity<br />
