[[Avionics]] is also considered a variant of mechatronics as it combines several fields such as [[Electronic engineering|electronics]] and telecom with [[aerospace engineering]]. It is the subdiscipline of mechatronics engineering and aerospace engineering which is engineering branch focusing on electronics systems of aircraft. The word avionics is a blend of aviation and electronics. The electronics system of aircraft includes [[Aircraft Communication Addressing and Reporting System|aircraft communication addressing and reporting system]], [[air navigation]], [[aircraft flight control system]], [[aircraft collision avoidance systems]], [[flight recorder]], [[weather radar]] and [[lightning detector]]. These can be as simple as a [[searchlight]] for a [[police helicopter]] or as complicated as the tactical system for an [[airborne early warning]] platform.
