This standard defines a broadband time division command/response multiplex data bus that co-exists and permits concurrent operation with a MIL-STD-1553 Data Bus and MIL-STD-1760 Appendix C. This standard allows utilization of legacy MIL-STD-1553 wiring and bus coupling.
Rationale: There is a need for a broadband time division command/response multiplex data bus that co-exists and permits concurrent operation with legacy MIL-STD-1553 Data Buses with no changes to the aircraft cabling. This document is being developed as requested by the USAF.
