Abstract :
The paper has been intended to present research tools used at the Air Force Institute of Technology (AFIT) to activate and test hardware and software implemented in the integrated avionics systems. Particular attention has been paid to the research stand (built under the R&D project of the Ministry of Science and Higher Education) intended to optimize avionics systems integrated with digital data buses employed (according to, among other things, MIL-1553B and ARINC-429 standards). Specialized research equipment/test devices used to test software, including - apart from other things - test-patterns generators (within the range of display capability of the secondary head-up display (SHUD)) and information efficiency testers (for the SHUD and up-front control panel (UFCP) thereof) have also been presented.
