Abstract :
The 28th Digital Avionics Systems Conference (DASC) whose theme: Modernization of Avionics and Air Traffic Management (ATM) — Perspectives from the Air and Ground, focused on the need to upgrade all avionics-related systems. DASC is recognized as one of the leading international conferences in the field of digital avionics technologies, applications, capabilities, and systems. As commercial and military avionics age they must be updated, and the related ground equipment modernized as well. The latest DASC was held at the Florida Hotel and Conference Center in Orlando, Florida, October 25–29, 2009. This long-running conference (more than 25 years) is co-sponsored by the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) Aerospace and Electronics Systems Society (AESS) and the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics (AIAA) Digital Avionics Technical Committee (DATC). It draws technical experts from across the globe and includes five days of professional education courses and presentations, plus exhibits and special events. Guests accompanying attendees have an opportunity to participate in special related activities during the conference.
