Alta Data Technologies MP2-1553 interface card

Metromatics, the authorised distributor for Alta Data Technologies in Australia and New Zealand, has launched the MP2-1553 — a compact 1–2 channel MIL-STD-1553 interface card in the M.2 2280 form factor, engineered for next-generation embedded avionics systems.

The interface card brings full-featured 1553 bus capability to the smallest host computers and mission hardware via PCI Express, making it suitable for flight control computers, UAVs, mobile ground vehicles and compact mission processors where SWaP constraints are critical.

Supplied with Alta’s AltaAPI SDK, the interface card is designed to simplify integration across multiple operating systems and development environments. Integrated system clock sync and IRIG-B decode further reduce external timing hardware and wiring complexity. Units are offered in commercial and extended-temperature versions for deployment in demanding environments.

Metromatics provides local sales, engineering assistance and post-sales support for Alta's full MIL-STD-1553 and ARINC product line.
