The 32nd DASC will maintain its dual focus on onboard avionics and infrastructures that provide air navigation services. Within these domains, there are many emerging research, development, and analysis areas related to avionics equipage, aircraft interoperability, and ground-/space-based systems. Findings here can be significant drivers for both NextGen and SESAR avionics roadmaps, but only if exposed in venues such as DASC. As in past DASC successes, we will continue to host exhibitors, highlight our conference sponsors, and provide an avenue for publishing. We’ll have senior and acknowledged experts in our plenary sessions and provide an interactive workshop environment. We will also continue our design competition for High School students. On behalf of the AIAA Digital Avionics Technical Committee and the IEEE Aerospace Electronics Systems Section, I encourage you to participate in this year’s DASC if you are involved in any aspect of aviation or aerospace electronics. Through your participation, you can help to influence the future directions of industry, government, and academia as we all work together to transform flight.
