An ice protection system (40) is provided for an aircraft surface having a plurality of ice-susceptible regions. The system (40) comprises an ice protector (51-55) for each ice-susceptible region, a controller (60) which independently controls each of the ice protectors (51-55), and input channels (71-79) which conveys data to the controller (60). The controller (60) uses the channel-conveyed data to determine optimum operation for each of the ice protectors and controls the supply electrical energy thereto in accordance with such optimization.
