The Avionics Systems Panel (ASP) is a Technical Panel of the IEEE Aerospace and Electronics Systems Society (AESS). The Panel shall address avionics systems for all aircraft systems supporting commercial, military, and general aviation operations. The avionics system functions include communications; command and control; navigation; surveillance; manned/unmanned air traffic management; and space systems (launch vehicles, spacecraft, and satellites). The Panel also supports activities related to the history of avionics systems and economic impact assessment of avionics systems. The Panel will monitor, analyze and support industry and Government activities, such as the NASA Unmanned Traffic Management (UTM), the FAA NextGen program, and the European Union (EU) Single European Sky ATM Research (SESAR) program that impact the future of aviation.
