MIL-STD-1553

ABSTRACT:

MIL-STD-1553 Bus Architecture system is vast field for research and development. This simple system shows the ability to apply complex mechanical structure into simple fly by wire system. MIL-STD-1553, which is digital multiplex data bus that works on internal time division command and response mode, is a military standard that describes the method of communication and the electrical interface requirements for subsystems connected to the data bus. This architecture was developed for making light weight jet fighters by removing mechanical structure. The serial communication bus is used to achieve the aircraft avionics, i.e., MIL-STD-1553B, where B shows the revision. In the future, it will be used to extend the system integration to flight controls, propulsion controls, and vehicle management system (electrical, hydraulic, environmental control, etc.).

This system has many applications in the field of avionics, where weight is considered mostly. With the advancements of aircrafts, a newer, lighter, faster, and higher performance is needed. Hence, the old mechanical systems started inaccurate.
