This report discusses the effects of advanced composite materials on avionics equipment. Over 80 reports and articles on this subject have been collected; the bibliographic data resides in an on-line computer data base. A summary of previous and ongoing work is included. The impact of composite materials on avionics systems and subsystems is discussed, and the major problem areas identified (viz., lightning, EMP protection, antenna performance, EMI/EMC, and radar cross section reduction). Possible solutions and approaches to these problems are presented and the importance of tradeoff studies at the system level is stressed. Problems peculiar to helicopters are reviewed separately. The relation of this contract to the Advanced Composite Airframe Program (ACAP) is also discussed. Appendices present technical background on interference control and E3 hardening concepts. An extensive bibliography is included. (Author)
