def compute_avionics_power_draw(avionics,bus,conditions):
"""
Computes the power draw of an avionics system.
Parameters
----------
avionics : Avionics
The avionics component with the following attributes:
- power_draw : float
Power consumption of the avionics component [W]
avionics_conditions : Conditions
Object to store avionics power conditions with the following attributes:
- power : numpy.ndarray
Array to store the computed power draw values [W]
conditions : Conditions
Object containing mission conditions (not directly used in this function)
Returns
-------
None
This function modifies the avionics_conditions.power array in-place.
Notes
-----
This function assigns the constant power draw value from the avionics component
to the power array in the avionics_conditions object. The power draw is assumed
to be constant throughout the mission segment.
For more complex avionics models, this function could be extended to calculate
power draw based on operating mode, altitude, or other mission parameters.
