Advanced MIL-STD-1553 UHF/VHF radio
Abstract
Hardware and software for the control of multiple UHF/VHF radios aboard an aircraft via the MIL-STD-1553 data bus are described, and the system architecture is illustrated with extensive diagrams and flow charts. The system comprises independent mulitpurpose display/entry units, a bus-control processor, an audio control distribution unit, and the radios and antennas. The characteristics of the radios are reviewed, and the control operation is outlined. The use of the MIL-STD-1553 bus is shown to simplify radio operation, reduce crew intervention requirements, and provide crew and maintenance personnel with accurate information on the operating capabilities of damaged or malfunctioning radios.
