Welcome to the 31st Digital Avionics Systems Conference!

For the 31st DASC this year in Williamsburg, Virginia, we’ll enjoy the robust nature of flight in and around Virginia’s historic tidewater area while conjuring-up imagery of centuries gone by. 

Our plan is to review and reflect on the history of avionics and project the future generations of avionics. Aviation has come a long way since 1912. What will it look like in 2112? 

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 Session and provide you with an interactive workshop environment. New in 2012, we’re planning to introduce a student competition “Avionics Competition/Challenge.”  Finally, you’ll also be pleased with our Tutorial Program and our plan to enhance it with remote access.   

I speak for the AIAA/DATC, IEEE/AESS, and the DASC committee when I say that we are confident that if you are involved in any aspect of aviation or aerospace electronics you will help influence the industry with your participation in this October 2012 venue.  Find a more robust introduction through the “Letter from the Chair,” found here.
