Selex ES to partner with Airbus on mission management systems AFDX®
Selex ES has partnered with Airbus on a patented Avionics Full DupleX (AFDX®) switched ethernet network communication system, a backbone standard in the avionic communication technology.
Selex ES has been licensed AFDX® for the company's use in aircraft and mission management systems. This provides the Selex ES AFDX® customers the full assurance that any licensed patents relating to the Avionics Full Duplex Switched Ethernet network communication system AFDX® are authorized and fully compliant with the registered standard.
Additionally, it marks the latest agreement arranged through the EADS Technology Licensing initiative in the EADS patent compliant outreach to AFDX® users, that opens the way for other endsystem manufacturers to join the AFDX® official partner community, while also expanding the standard's use to the helicopter market.
AFDX® was initially developed by Airbus for its fly-by-wire A380 jetliner, and it is now being adopted for a growing number of aviation-related applications that range from airborne systems and network integration to deployment tool suites and test systems.
