Offboard graphics rendering gateway via avionics full duplex ethernet for a cockpit display system

An aircraft cockpit display system on an aircraft, said system comprising:

• a cockpit display subsystem including a display, a subsystem processor and integrated modular avionics (IMA) having user applications and cockpit display software;
• and
• an off-board processor for processing aircraft functionality that is not available on the cockpit display subsystem, said off-board processor providing graphical data over fiber optics to the cockpit display subsystem to be displayed by the cockpit display subsystem, said off-board processor including a graphics gateway sub-processor that is in communication with the cockpit display subsystem over Ethernet cables, said graphics gateway sub-processor storing user applications that are not found on the cockpit display subsystem and that control displays that contain an external source that is populated by the graphical data provided to the cockpit display subsystem on the fiber optics.

An aircraft cockpit display system on an aircraft, said system comprising:

• at least one cockpit display subsystem including a display, a subsystem processor and integrated modular avionics (IMA) having user applications and cockpit display software;
• and
• at least one off-board processor for processing aircraft functionality applications that are not available on the at least one cockpit display subsystem, said at least one off-board processor providing graphical data over fiber optics to the at least one cockpit display subsystem to be displayed by the at least one cockpit display subsystem, said at least one off-board processor including a graphics gateway sub-processor that is in communication with the at least one cockpit display subsystem, said graphics gateway sub-processor exchanging data and information with the at least one cockpit display subsystem to provide synchronization with the graphical data provided by the at least one off-board processor to the at least one cockpit display subsystem, wherein the aircraft is a military aircraft.
