Abstract :
This paper describes the development and integration of a MIL-STD-1553B interface for the AN/ALQ-131(V) Terminal Threat Electronic Countermeasures (ECM) pod. Integrated circuit devices and the Ada programming language were used to develop a low risk, highly flexible design. The fully programmable interface can communicate with any aircraft electronic system with a MIL-STD-1553B interface. Potential Electronic Warfare (EW) and general purpose avionics bus system architecture interfaces are discussed. Required aircraft and pod modifications to support the interface are described
