Avionic systems integration

The increasingly important need to ensure interoperability with other systems, and to allow for future data-fusion requirements, is key to avoiding premature obsolescence. QinetiQ’s independence from platform and equipment manufacturers ensures a professional approach that is bias free and gets straight to the heart of providing the best-value technical solutions with maximum objectivity.

We offer innovative practical and cost effective solutions to avionics systems integration requirements in support of research, development and operational needs. We have gained exceptional experience and knowledge with implementing software solutions to varying levels of standards.

We have particular expertise in
Operational Flight
We carry out design, development, verification and validation of operational flight programmes to full industry standards including configuration and verification management – telelogic synergy and requirement engineering – telelogic DOORS.

Avionics Integration
We have the capability to integrate both commercial-off-the-shelf equipment, advanced experimental systems and to produce solutions to meet complex requirements. We provide high quality products through extensive understanding of military requirements from operational concept to demonstration, evaluation and life-cycle support. From specific equipment upgrades to complex systems for new or modified platforms, our in-depth knowledge covers avionics categories of

• sensors
• navigation and weapon aiming
• displays and
• communications

Avionics Testing
Development trials and evaluation has centred on definition and execution of both ground and flight trials. We have a compact self contained Avionic System Test Facility which enables the testing of a variety of avionic and communications systems line replacement items (LRIs). This enable fast and cost effective LRI tests on site for customers tailored to suit individual requirements.

MOD has given us their design approval certification for design, development and flight test.

Avionics Software Development
For aerospace this covers the design development, verification and validation of operational flight programmes to full industry standard. From requirements capture through to compliance, every aspect of software development can be provided with qualified backing.
