Principles, approaches, conceptions and development programs for integrated airborne avionics are considered in the book. Functional objectives of integrated airborne avionics that meet modern requirements for air traffic management, navigation, landing and data interchange in civil and military aviation are formulated. Some airborne avionics integration principles are proposed.

Modern approaches to information co-processing in navigation-landing complexes are analyzed. Algorithms of multi-channel information processing in integrated airborne avionics are considered with some examples of their implementation.
The book is suitable for scientific and engineering staff workers that design and research aviation equipment as well as for senior students and post-graduates of corresponding specialties.
