Suspension control and management, electromechanical control and drive, external lighting control, and anti-skid braking control functions are all implemented by corresponding independent field replaceable units (LRUs). Each unit has similar processing modules, power modules, and chassis welded components, requiring cabling between the unit and the airborne integrated processor and execution equipment. This hinders weight reduction of the aircraft platform and results in low equipment integration. Summary of the Invention

It provides electromechanical drive control signals and external lighting control signals, and features normal braking control, anti-skid function, and stop braking function. It monitors and reports the status information of aircraft-mounted attachments, enables the launch / release control of various types of attachments, and has the function of outputting emergency attachment release signals. This invention proposes a multi-functional airborne integrated controller.

[0004] Technical Solution: This invention designs a multi-functional airborne integrated controller, which has integrated suspended object control and management, electromechanical control and drive, external lighting control and anti-skid braking control functions. The integrated controller includes a central processing module, a suspended object deployment control module, a power supply module, a lighting control module, an electromechanical control module, an anti-skid braking control module, and a chassis welding component; wherein the chassis welding component has radio frequency signal processing function. The central processing module is the core of the multi-functional airborne integrated controller, used to control the working logic of the entire multi-functional airborne integrated controller; the suspended object deployment control module is used for the control and management of suspended objects; the power supply module is mainly used to supply power to the various modules inside the multi-functional airborne integrated controller; the lighting control module is used for lighting and status indication; the electromechanical control module is used to realize the output of electromechanical control related signals; and the anti-skid brake control module is used to realize the output control of brake related signals.

[0005] Furthermore, the central processing module communicates with the airborne integrated processor via two HB6096 buses for mission data exchange; it manages and controls all suspended objects via one dual-redundant GJB289A bus; it receives discrete signals from the cockpit, landing gear, and attachment point interlocks, processes them through logic and software, and outputs power supply and deployment permission commands for each attachment point; it also outputs a selection control signal to the suspended object deployment control module to realize power supply and deployment control of the suspended objects; it outputs discrete control signals to realize radio frequency signal gain adjustment; and it retrieves the power supply control output and emergency deployment status of the suspended objects.

[0006] Furthermore, the suspended object deployment control module is used to complete the control and management of the selection and deployment of suspended objects at 6 attachment points and the emergency complete disposal; the suspended object deployment control module realizes the selection and deployment of suspended objects by receiving the selection control signal from the central processing module and DC power supply; by receiving the emergency complete disposal signal from the cabin and emergency power supply, and through the delay processing of the internal hardware interlock and delay control unit, the orderly emergency complete disposal of suspended objects at 6 attachment points is realized.

[0007] Furthermore, the lighting control module communicates with the airborne integrated processor via one RS-422 line to enable the illumination of fuselage formation lights, vertical tail formation lights, navigation formation lights, tail lights, collision avoidance lights, landing taxi lights, landing gear indicator lights, brightness adjustment, and switching between friendly / concealed modes.

[0008] Furthermore, the electromechanical control module communicates with the airborne integrated processor via one RS-422 interface to exchange electromechanical control task data; it also communicates with the external remote interface device via one RS-422 interface to collect electromechanical status data; and it outputs power control, electromechanical control, and atmospheric sensor power supply related signals.

[0009] Furthermore, the anti-skid brake control module communicates with the external remote interface device via one RS-422 interface to exchange brake control task data, output anti-skid brake control related signals, and collect wheel speed.

[0010] Furthermore, the radio frequency signal processing function of the chassis welding component is specifically as follows: the satellite navigation signal processing circuit is laid out on the motherboard, the satellite navigation signal uses a power divider to realize the forwarding and power distribution of one satellite navigation signal to the six hardpoints on the left and right wings, and the signal gain is adjusted by receiving the gain control command sent by the central processing module.

[0011] Furthermore, the power module processes the input 28VDC voltage of the carrier through an internal spike suppression circuit, surge suppression circuit, filter circuit, and power-off retention circuit, and converts it into the 5VDC and 28VDC power supply voltages required by each module through a DC-DC conversion circuit.

[0012] Furthermore, of the two HB6096 buses, one is the main channel and the other is the backup channel, which is used to ensure the reliability of data interaction with the airborne integrated processor.

[0013] Furthermore, the chassis welding components are also used to provide physical protection for each module, ensure electromagnetic shielding effect and heat dissipation performance, and guarantee the stability and reliability of equipment operation.

[0014] Technical Effects: This invention integrates suspended object control and management, electromechanical control and drive, external lighting control, and anti-skid braking control functions, reducing the need for multiple independent devices. It significantly reduces the number and weight of long-distance cables between the airborne controller interface and the airborne integrated processor interface, as well as the task execution module interface, lowering hardware costs and reducing the load on the carrier platform. Parallel processing capabilities enable collaborative operation of real-time and non-real-time tasks, improving the control system's response speed and efficiency. Adhering to standards as a system design principle, the interfaces for the launch vehicle and mission suspended objects are rigorously designed, improving the versatility of the launch device and suspended object control and management. The integration of multiple safety mechanisms, including overload protection, short-circuit protection, and over / under voltage protection, extends equipment lifespan and improves mission reliability and safety.
