Avionics are the set of electronic types of equipment and systems designed to use in aviation. The first such device to be used on aircraft was the communication and navigation systems based on analog and old gauge systems (Federal Aviation Administration, 2012). The aviation industry has advanced, requiring more efficient and intelligent functionalities that initiated the need for high-grade avionic plans. The current aviation systems comprise modern-tech avionics fitted with integrated modular systems that are reliable and productive. Different techniques have been developed that are focused on advancing the future of aircraft systems. This paper will form a framework to compare Automatic Dependent Surveillance-Broadcast (ADS-B), Global Positioning System (GPS), and how the FAA’s NextGen System-Wide Information shapes aircraft systems’ future.
In conclusion, new technologies and procedures have increased the national airspace system’s safety, efficiency, capacity, access, and resilience. With the FAA’s NextGen implementation, the future of aircraft systems is promised because it will transform all aviation segments. There is efficient communication of accurate data between different aircraft operators, high-security surveillance, and improved onboard technology. The ADS-B system shapes the industry by offering IFR separations where radars cannot reach and providing real-time weather and airspace display information to controllers ensuring safety and efficiency. In addition, it helps pilots to avoid Collison with other aircraft due to the accurate information shared simultaneously between different airspace users. GPS has a precise solution to transmitting information in regular intervals that are automated in planes. This shows the vital role technology in avionics systems is playing in modernizing the future of aviation.
