MALVINA - Modular Avionics for Light Vehicle IN Aeronautics
 
The overall architecture of Modular Avionics for Light Vehicle IN Aeronautics is addressed by MALVINA proposal with the final objective to standardise and validate a MALVINA CORE AVIONICS OPEN ARCHITECTURE, which would allow any equipment manufacturer, conforming to the standard, to plug in with a minimum of integration burden.
Start date
2002.06.01
Duration
24 months
EC Program Ref.:
5th FP
GROWTH Program
   
Addressed equipments are flight sensors, cockpit displays, navigation and communication, utilities airframe & engines sensors and actuators.
   
The proposed work allows the modular avionics architecture specification, then prototyping and plugging with its equipment in an avionics validation test bench. Project proposal, which budget is modest, will end after MALVINA validation.  
   
Flight tests will be proposed in a follow-on proposal. Project proposal was born in a SME, and is SME led and oriented. An important effort is located on the dissemination plan to insure MALVINA architecture standard recognition as large as possible.  
   
The main technologies involved are:
  • Flat screen displays;
  • Real-time computers;
  • Real-time operating systems;
  • Man Machine Interface (MMI) software standards;
  • Communication standards;
  • Data communication hardware and software.

    EXPECTED RESULTS
    The MALVINA project spans a 24-months period. The first expected results at T0+9 months will be definition of the open architecture and detailed definition of the demonstrator. The second milestone is in the mid-term review which will access the satisfactory progress of the project. The third milestone will be the successful integration of the demonstrator at T0+22 months. Finally, the fourth milestone will be the performance measurement and the final report at T0+24 months.
