Hi Roger,
thank you very much for your effords! I checked the old thread
on rec.aviation.military. On March 2005 Alan Dicey posted in a response
to my question that the box might have been controlling displays
called TV-Tab in the rear cockpit of the tornado. But Alan thought
that the box is not a complete computer...
Maybe I should forward him my report ;-)
I showed the pictures to someone who worked on Tornado
at Marconi
Hey, that is great - thank you for trying to get input
on this small baby!
Avionics. He said the box is definitely not part of
either the CSAS
(Command Stability Augmentation System) nor AFDS (AutoPilot & Flight
Director System). He thought it was physically much too big for the
HUD (Head Up Display).
If the box would have been used in a ciritcal system I think
it would never have shown up on eBay. I can not imagine that
cirtical stuff is released to the public...
Thanks Again,
Erik.
