STANAG 4626
Encyclopedia
STANAG 4626 is a NATO standard which define a set of Open Architecture Standards for Avionics
Architecture, particularly in the field of Integrated Modular Avionics
. The purpose of this standard is to establish uniform requirements for the architecture for
Integrated Modular Avionics
(IMA) systems as defined by the ASAAC
program.
, and originated from the ASAAC
effort. As for ASAAC, many major European Avionics companies participate in its definition, such as:
Avionics
Avionics are electronic systems used on aircraft, artificial satellites and spacecraft.Avionic systems include communications, navigation, the display and management of multiple systems and the hundreds of systems that are fitted to aircraft to meet individual roles...
