The ability of a new generation aviation electronic control system (ECS) to solve its tasks in the best (optimal) way depends largely on the optimization methods underlying the development of both management and information subsystems.

It should be noted that the choice of appropriate optimization methods is a complex, multidimensional, multi-stage and high-cost procedure, the solution of which depends on the demand for ECS for a long period of operation.

In this regard, the problem of choosing a mathematical apparatus for optimizing ECS and analyzing specific plans for its implementation is very relevant.

The article examines the features of optimizing management and information systems at a qualitative level, taking into account their interaction in optimizing ECS as a whole.

The list of issues that should be taken into account at the preliminary stage of optimization is considered, including:

identification of a specific list of tasks to be optimized;

determination of the list of system indicators of excellence, the improvement of which is the object of optimization;

analysis of the conditions of combat use;

defining the development strategy;

analysis of scientific and technical groundwork;

choosing a common optimization method.

Based on this, a choice was made in favor of using local optimization options for the statistical theory of optimal control using a top-down strategy. As part of this strategy, guidance methods are optimized first, followed by information support methods.

The features of the choice of specific quality functionals and initial state models are considered.

An adaptive analog-to-discrete filtering device is recommended for optimizing information systems.
