Data bus concepts and considerations
11 May, 2011 byThe digital data bus MIL-STD-1553B was designed in the early 1970s to replace analog point-to-point wire bundles between electronic instruments. The latest version of the serial local area network (LAN) for military avionics known as MIL-STD-1553B was issued in 1978. Since then, various notices have been published to update the standard and after 30 years the data bus continues to be the most popular militarised network.
