Future Sensing and Information Requirements and System Ideas that Apply to Flight Control

The paper deals with a general treatment of establishing the instrumentation and associated system requirements for control of future flight vehicles, the challenging pace of instrumentation technology, what one can expect in the way of firm future requirements, what will be required of the instrument developer, and some typical problems of the future. It suggests that this is a fruitful product area, but will require an all out imaginative effort with a high degree of flexibility to stay competitive.
