Abstract: MIL-STD-1553 is an internationally accepted networking standard for the integration of military platforms. Today, the MIL-STD standard has gone beyond its traditional domain of US Air Force and Navy aircrafts to encourage applications for ships, combat vehicles, missiles, satellites and the International Space Station Program, and also for advanced commercial avionic applications. In this journal introduction to the MIL-STD-1553 data bus, its history, working, applications and use are studied.
