Nowadays the civil aircraft head-up displays available on the market could not be easily integrated onboard due to architectural aspects. Particularly, these systems usually contain a dedicated computer unit performing the data processing to generate the appropriate image. This leads to increases in the overall avionics weight and size and limits the scope of head-up displays application in general. However, the mentioned characteristics could be improved by the usage of the integrated modular avionics concept for architecture design. According to that approach, the common hardware platform is used by different functional consumers to share computation resources. Thus, the required data processing function could be performed by the equipment already available onboard (without the need in additional hardware). The paper proposes the head-up display architecture for civil aircraft based on integrated modular avionics which significantly reduces the system’s weight and size compared to characteristics of existing analogous. Also, this way allows reducing the time expenses for aircraft development, testing and certification, as well as the vehicle operational cost.
