Since most avionics manufacturers see software as a way to add value without adding weight, the importance of embedded software in avionic systems is increasing. Most modern commercial aircraft with auto-pilots use flight computers and so called flight management systems (FMS) that can fly the aircraft without the pilot's active intervention ...
The Open Group Future Airborne Capability Environment (FACE Consortium) was formed in 2010 to define an open avionics environment for all military airborne platform types. . Today, it is a real-time software-focused professional group made up of industry suppliers, customers, academia, and us
On July 12, 2002, Microsoft purchased Navision for $1.33 billion (~$2.15 billion in 2023). The company, which developed the technology for the Microsoft Dynamics NAV enterprise resource planning software, was integrated into Microsoft as a new division named Microsoft Business Solutions, [10] later renamed to Microsoft Dynamics.

IMA modularity simplifies the development process of avionics software: . As the structure of the modules network is unified, it is mandatory to use a common API to access the hardware and network resources, thus simplifying the hardware and software integration.
ARINC 653 (Avionics Application Software Standard Interface) is a software specification for space and time partitioning in safety-critical avionics real-time operating systems (RTOS). It allows the hosting of multiple applications of different software levels on the same hardware in the context of an Integrated Modular Avionics architecture.
Electronic flight bag showing the airport diagram of Avalon Airport. An electronic flight bag (EFB) is an electronic information management device that helps flight crews perform flight management tasks more easily and efficiently with less paper [1] providing the reference material often found in the pilot's carry-on flight bag, including the flight-crew operating manual, navigational charts ...
FMS (Flight Management System) Honeywell on Boeing 767–300 A flight management system (FMS) is a fundamental component of a modern airliner's avionics.An FMS is a specialized computer system that automates a wide variety of in-flight tasks, reducing the workload on the flight crew to the point that modern civilian aircraft no longer carry flight engineers or navigators.
Flexible Software Solutions introduced COTS developing, testing and analysis tools for ARINC 661 protocol at the beginning of 2012. [18] The UA Accelerator software tool is used to develop ARINC 661 user applications while the UA Emulator software tool is used to test and debug UA and CDS ARINC 661 messaging.
