AIRCRAFT DATA INTERFACE FUNCTION (ADIF)

2020-07-21
CURRENT
ARINC834-8
This document defines an Aircraft Data Interface Function (ADIF) developed for aircraft installations that incorporate network components based on commercially available technologies. This document defines a set of protocols and services for the exchange of aircraft avionics data across aircraft networks. A common set of services that may be used to access specific avionics parameters are described. The ADIF may be implemented as a generic network service, or it may be implemented as a dedicated service within an ARINC 759 Aircraft Interface Devices (AID) such as those used with an Electronic Flight Bag (EFB). Supplement 8 includes improvements in the Aviation Data Broadcast Protocol (ADBP), adds support for the Media Independent Aircraft Messaging (MIAM) protocol, and contains data security enhancements. It also includes notification and deprecation of the Generic Aircraft Parameter Service (GAPS) protocol that will be deleted in a future supplement.

INTERSYSTEM NETWORK INTEGRATION

2021-06-24
CURRENT
ARINC688
The purpose of this document is to provide guidelines for integrating previously standalone cabin systems such as cabin management systems, In-Flight Entertainment (IFE) systems, In-Flight Connectivity (IFC) systems, galley systems, surveillance systems, etc. Resource sharing between systems can reduce airline costs and/or increase functionality. But, as systems expose their internal resources to external systems, the risk of an intrusion that could degrade function and/or negatively expose the supplier’s or airline’s brand increases. This document provides a recommended IP networking design framework between aircraft systems to reduce the operational security threats while still supporting the necessary intersystem routing.

This report also documents additional system-level requirements derived from the evaluation of ICAO, CAA, and relevant industry documents and potential TRFD system architectures. It describes two TRFD architectures in the context of a common architectural framework and identifies requirements. This report also discusses implementation recommendations from an airplane-level perspective.
