It's just a piece of equipment, generic. Per WP:MOSCAPS ("Wikipedia avoids unnecessary capitalization") and WP:TITLE, this is a generic, common term, not a propriety or commercial term, so the article title should be downcased. In addition, WP:MOSCAPS says that a compound item should not be upper-cased just because it is abbreviated with caps. Lowercase will match the formatting of related article titles. Relisted.

I think it is all right capitalised as that is the common name for a physical piece of equipment and it would just look wrong to readers in lower case. MilborneOne (talk) 11:33, 9 September 2012 (UTC)Reply
Milborne, it is generic, though, isn't it? The article text says it's used on "various" aircraft, miliatry and civilian, from the A320 to the Boeing 777. And there are three of them that make up a "system". Doesn't seem to be the patented product of a particular company (is it?). Methinks it's been capped just because there's an acronym. No less than IEEE doesn't cap it, for example, here. More here. Sure, a lot of web pages do, but the fact that key ones don't says something, and we haven't even got to books yet (which tend to cap less). Tony (talk) 14:12, 9 September 2012 (UTC)Reply
