COMPUTER ARCHITECTURES FOR ADVANCED AIR TRAFFIC CONTROL APPLICATIONS

This paper investigates multi-mini (or micro) processor configurations suitable for advanced highly reliable ATC applications. Two specific examples, one a proposed design of an airborne computer for a future conflict avoidance system and the other a prototype surveillance site processor are discussed.
