Which component of the F/A-18 E/F is tasked with managing the aircraft's electrical system?

The Electrical Power System (EPS) is fundamental to the F/A-18 E/F as it is specifically designed to manage the aircraft's electrical system. The EPS oversees the generation, distribution, and control of electrical power throughout the aircraft, ensuring that all electrical components receive the power needed for their operation. This includes managing various sources of electrical power, such as the engines' generators and batteries, to maintain optimal operation of systems including avionics, lighting, and flight controls.

The other choices serve important roles in the aircraft but do not specifically manage the overall electrical system. The Integrated Monitoring System is primarily focused on monitoring the aircraft’s performance and status, while the Power Distribution Panel is involved in distributing power but not in the broader management and control aspect that the EPS encompasses. The Flight Control Computer is tasked with controlling the aircraft's flight surfaces and stability, rather than managing electrical power. Thus, the EPS stands out as the component responsible for the comprehensive management of the electrical system in the F/A-18 E/F.
