Honeywell has implemented the versatile integrated avionics (VIA) in several advanced commercial flight deck applications ensuring a military tie to future commercial upgrades related to GATM functions. The VIA architecture can also be easily extended to meet unique military requirements of the advanced military flight decks for military tanker/transport upgrade programs. The subtle changes in the architecture are a result of unique equipment interfaces and unique military equipment such as communications radios, IFF (identification friend or foe), SKE (station keeping equipment) and defensive systems, which must be integrated within the architecture. The ability to integrate both commercial and military functions in the same high integrity computing platform offers the military the best of both worlds.
