World finances, terrorist activity, political envision, or public loss of confidence due to a perception of poor safety each effect business. The text covers all aspects of civil avionics systems including the technology, systems development, electronics, sensors, communication and guidance aids, displays, control,s and systems integration. It discusses future air navigation systems and military applications.
