The IEEE Aerospace and Electronic Systems Society is a society, within the framework of the IEEE, of members with professional
interests in the organization, design, development, integration and operation of complex systems for space, air, ocean, or ground
environments. These systems include, but are not limited to, navigation, avionics, spacecraft, aerospace power, mobile electric
power & electronics, military, law enforcement, radar, sonar, telemetry, defense, transportation, automatic test, simulators, and
command & control. Many members are concerned with the practice of system engineering. All members of the IEEE are eligible
for membership in the Society and receive the Society magazine Systems upon payment of the annual Society membership fee.
The Transactions are unbundled, online only, and available at an additional fee. For information on joining, write to the IEEE at
