The modular future of military aircraft

11 Nov 2021

Over the past two decades, dramatic advancements in connectivity and computing have led to parallel innovations in the technologies underpinning military aircraft. This rapid development enables military aircrews to fly more safely and effectively, facilitating seamless communication between aircraft and providing pilots with a previously unattainable level of situational awareness. But while these innovations deliver substantial performance improvements, the increasing complexity and technological requirements of these solutions come at substantial cost to both military planners and avionics manufacturers. Each new generation of technology is harder to upgrade, and more resource-intensive with regard to bandwidth and connectivity.
