Avionics and Flight Control
	LCA Avionics architecture is configured around MIL-STD-1553B data buses, with built-in redundancy.  Mission Data Processor design follows Open Architecture Computing (OAC) which overcomes hardware obsolescence and enables software reusability.  Commercial Off The Shelf (COTS) components duly tested to military standards have been extensively used.

 

The Digital Flight Control Computer (DFCC) takes inputs from the pilot, inertia & air data sensors, and generates appropriate commands to the control surface (rudder, elevon, slats and air brakes) actuators for effecting necessary deflections for aircraft maneuvers as per pilot's demand.

 

The Flight Control System software has been developed using Ada language and follows DOD standards.  An Independent Verification & Validation (IV&V) process ensures correctness, consistency, completeness and adherence to MIL standards of all safety critical onboard software.
