| By Avnet Electronics Marketing, Avnet |
|
| With military systems' life cycles of 20 to 50 years, component obsolescence is always an issue. Now, however, OEMs are adopting more proactive Bill of Materials (BOM) management practices to lessen the impact of End-of-Life (EOL) notices. |

| Synthetic Vision systems -- from sandbox to reality |
|
| By Mark Snyder, Quantum 3D, Inc. |
|
| Synthetic Vision, as applied to the avionics display area, is a term used to describe the creation of a computer-generated 3D representation of the environment an aircraft is operating in, and is the subject of intensive ongoing research and development. The promise of these systems lies in their ability to fuse three-dimensional (3D) data into intuitive displays that can provide lifesaving awareness to flight crews. |
