Recognizing the critical importance of subsystems commu-
nications in aircraft, GE has developed a range of products
that deliver the required reliability, speed, and richness
of features. Regardless of whether the system requires
MIL-STD-1553, 10Mbit 1553, ARINC 429 or AFDX/ARINC 664,
GE has the right technology solution. GE’s Avionics interface
boards are compatible with PCI, PCI express, CompactPCI
®
,
PXI, PC/104, PC/104-Plus, AMC, USB, PCMCIA, ExpressCard,
VME, VXI, VPX, PMC and XMC platforms.
Our MIL-STD-1553 interface hardware provides high-
speed host interfaces, large onboard memory capacity,
intelligent protocol processing and advanced board-
level functionality. Bus traffic is accurately buffered and
recorded with no data loss while simultaneously scheduling
1553 messages without host intervention. Flexible APIs
supporting many operating systems allow the test and
simulation users to maximize the operational test enve-
lopes. AS4111 protocol validated operating modes provide
assurance for embedded applications. For stores manage-
ment applications, our 10 MB 1553 interface boards and
FlightCORE products enable a cost-effective means of
boosting data throughput by a factor of 10.
Products
GE’s ARINC interface board products, traffic analysis soft-
ware packages and data loader products offer a high degree
of functionality and performance for test and simulation,
or embedded environments. The user-friendly application
programming interfaces, supporting many host operating
systems, provide onboard management of transmission,
receive, and data logging execution. Many of our ARINC 429
boards provide options for other commercial avionics proto-
cols, such as ARINC 708 and 717.
Our ARINC 615 Data Loader provides Microsoft Windows-
based ARINC 615-3/603 data loading via single- or
multi-session interface software.
AFDX is the new standard for redundancy managed assured
message traffic technology on Ethernet media. Our high-
speed deterministic interface products allow unconstrained
bandwidth testing of these busses on engines, flight controls
and navigation systems.
With a proven track record in rugged products for military
and commercial applications, GE can provide ruggedized
avionics interfaces to meet virtually any type of harsh envi-
ronment requirement.
