Air Mobility Command (AMC) operates many of the largest aircraft in the U.S. Air Force and is the biggest fuel consumer in the U.S. Department of Defense. Without avionics modernization, the mobility air forces would lack some of the communication, navigation, and surveillance (CNS) capabilities required under forthcoming air traffic management (ATM) mandates.
The book is addressed to architects and civil engineers. Design and research are areas connecting their activities. The contents of the book confirm the fact that the interface between architecture and engineering is multidimensional.
