Abstract

The US Army Aviation Systems Command´s (AVSCOM) Directorate for Life Cycle Software Engineering (DLCSE) has taken action to provide facilities (both laboratory and portable) for the independent assessment, verification and validation, and testing of MIL-STD-1553 subsystems. The DLCSE facility provides direct linkage from the subsystem Multiplex Interface Control Document (MICD) through real-time testing for the subsystem over a MIL-STD-1553 data bus. In addition, the MICD is provided in an electronic format. An overview of the facility capabilities is given as well as a detailed analysis of the results of validation and testing of remote terminals developed for Army and tri-service programs. In addition, the tri-service program to extend this facility to other data bus programs is described
