Abstract

An aeronautical database server subsystem for synthetic vision systems refers to an onboard unit in the aircraft that stores and manages a layered database to support SVIS (Synthetic Vision Information Systems) applications. A general database server architecture is composed of four integrated components: the server processing computer, storage medium, geo-referenced database, and the system interconnects. This paper presents a proposed server architecture, and discusses system design choices confronted in the assembly of a prototype at Rockwell Collins
