Advance Program

Welcome to the 29th Digital Avionics Systems Conference!

Please plan now to join us for five days of speaker presentations, professional education courses, exhibits and special events on the theme of Improving Our Environment through Green Avionics and ATM Solutions. Cleaning up the air, abating noise pollution, and reducing harmful materials in design, production, repair, and disposal of aerospace systems are only some of the environmental and legal issues advanced digital avionics can help resolve. Being “green” is also becoming a product selection criterion as important as cost and performance in many systems across the world…and out into space. Digital avionics provide enabling technologies for green aerospace systems, on the ground, in the air and space, and the 29th Digital Avionics Systems Conference (DASC) will provide just the forum to share our thinking on the way ahead. Therefore, our dual-facet theme of the 29th DASC will continue the approach we used in the 28th DASC to cover the full spectrum of air (including space) and ground avionics with two major theme tracks: “Green” Airborne Systems and “Green” Ground Systems.

While we will reflect our main theme in two dedicated tracks and other events, we will continue to have papers and courses that span the breadth of digital avionics design, implementation, and operation.  These topics include but are not limited to Avionics Applications such as, IMA (Integrated Modular Avionics) Open Architectures; IMA Optimization and Integration; Avionics Communication Infrastructure; Integrated Avionics Security; Communications, Navigation, and Surveillance (CNS) Systems; Human Systems Integration; Synthetic Vision and Situation Awareness Systems; Unmanned Aircraft Systems; and Avionics Design topics such as: Systems Engineering; Software Engineering; and  Flight Critical Systems.  Our Call for Participation gives more information on the scope of the program.

Some highlights of this year's conference include:

Plenary Sessions – Our Plenary session will feature noted government and industry leaders who shape our industry sharing their insights on the possibilities of “green” digital avionics systems and ground-based Air Traffic Management systems.

Technical Program -- We will have hundreds of papers presented over a two and a half day period by international researchers, innovators, engineers, and designers who are creating digital avionics equipment and subsystems, ground systems, services, and support. These will be organized into parallel, topically-oriented tracks.  We will continue to have both the traditional sessions as well as the poster papers. The workshop was highly successful last year and will be returning again this year. Focusing on our theme, we will have a panel of avionics and ground system experts providing presentations and question-and-answer interaction during our Thursday lunch panel.

Professional Education – Our Professional Education program offers two days of sessions spanning many engineering disciplines. These tutorials are presented by both educators and practicing professionals. Topics will include: basic and advanced avionics systems, systems engineering, open systems architectures, human factors, software development and many others.  All professional education sessions will offer Continuing Education Units (CEUs) through IEEE.

Exhibits -- We will again have exhibits and product demonstrations by representatives of key avionics related industries. Multiple receptions in the exhibitor area will provide you with opportunities to network with other conference participants as well as the exhibitors.

Special Event - Join us on Thursday evening for a social event at the Hill Aerospace Museum.

Spouses Program – Spouses accompanying attendees will have the opportunity to participate in daily activities during the main conference events.

Whether you are involved in avionics systems for manned or unmanned aircraft, space systems or air traffic management, please join us and participate in the 29th DASC to help influence the direction of digital avionics and ground systems technology.
