Connect

A special mission aircraft is not unique because of one system or component, but more importantly, how all the systems and components correctly integrate and interconnect to perform as a single unit. Airborne LINX is the over-arching system that unites each complex piece of equipment on board an aircraft into an easy-to-operate work-place in the sky.

Control

The software controlling all relevant sensors and components of the system runs on a special in-house designed mission computer.

The core element and Human Machine Interface is the Mission Management Unit (MMU) that allows the operator to control the full architecture on a simple-to-use touchscreen. Embedded either in an ergonomic workstation or running on a tablet, the MMU enables the operator to simplify the management of sensors, C2 systems and screens. The overriding aim is to ease the information flow – just keep it simple - allowing the crew to concentrate on actual tasks.
