FlightPro™ Scalable Mission Computer
Northrop Grumman’s FlightPro™ scalable mission computer integrates advanced computing and video processing capabilities for weapons and avionics into a single high performance computer. Its open systems architecture is ideally adapted for rapid technology insertion. As a flight qualified commercial-off-the-shelf mission computer, it is suited for a wide array of avionics applications where fast implementation, easy integration and superior performance are critical. FlightPro™ operates as the primary mission computer, performing mission avionics data processing and display processing, while providing multiple external subsystem interface capabilities. The Northrop Grumman FlightPro™ scalable mission computer is the core element of FlightSuite™.
Central flight avionics collection point
FlightPro™ provides the central flight avionics collection point for incoming warning and caution advisory, communications, aircraft controls, data from navigation interfaces, digital video, and keyset selection data. It processes this incoming information, formats the display presentations and monitors and controls all devices on the data buses continuously.
FlightPro™ also functions as the central output distribution point for keyset legend, display data, and systems data discrete signals.
Flight Management System
A Flight Management System (FMS) is embedded in the FlightPro™ mission computer, which has been proven in commercial use by similar systems now flying in thousands of commercial Boeing 737 aircraft worldwide.
