MIL-STD-1553 is military standard published by the United States Department of Defense that defines the mechanical, electrical and functional characteristics of a serial data bus. It was originally designed for use with military avionics, but has also become commonly used in spacecraft on-board data handling (OBDH) subsystems, both military and civil. It features a dual redundant balanced line physical layer, a (differential) network interface, time division multiplexing, half-duplex command/response protocol and up to 31 remote terminals (devices). It was first published as a U.S. Air Force standard in 1973, and was first used on the F-16 Fighting Falcon fighter aircraft. It is widely used now by all branches of the U.S. military and has been adopted by NATO as STANAG 3838 AVS. MIL-STD-1553 is being replaced on some newer U.S. designs by FireWire.[1]

      Free White Paper: Selecting a Bus Analyzer

      As avionics buses on military and commercial aircraft become more varied and complex, it becomes even more important that a bus analyzer be used during the design, deployment, and maintenance of avionics systems. Today, aircraft may contain MIL-STD-1553, ARINC 429, CAN, and ARINC 664 (AFDX) buses as part of the overall system. Choosing an analyzer needs to be a part of the overall system design from the earliest part of the project.

Mark Twain quote for the day:

When even the brightest mind in our world has been trained up from childhood in a superstition of any kind, it will never be possible for that mind, in its maturity, to examine sincerely, dispassionately, and conscientiously any evidence or any circumstance which shall seem to cast a doubt upon the validity of that superstition. I doubt if I could do it myself.
