A new communication mechanism for enhanced embedded training system

This paper proposes a new communication mechanism for enhanced embedded training system (ETS) using the embedded virtual avionics (EVA). In the proposed mechanism, EVA card is a point-to-point TCP/IP communication directly interfaced with mission computer (MC) not via MIL-STD 1553B card. To support real-time embedded training (ET), data messages such as air-to-air, air-to-ground weapons and targets are integrated. The test results of operating flight program (OFP) with system integration laboratory (SIL) show that the proposed mechanism using the integrated message is improved up to 8.2 times on average in transmission speed compared with the conventional mechanism. And it is not needed the checksum process because of including in TCP/IP packet structure. Thus, it leads to achieve reliable transmission to the real-time constraints, required by military applications. Also, low-cost ETS can implement because MIL-STD 1553B card is removed.
