Test & Development Platform

DDC Avionics Interface Computer (AIC) provides an efficient, scalable, and portable platform to develop and test MIL-STD-1553 and ARINC 429 system applications via an Ethernet network... eliminating the need and cost of long cabling/wire runs from the test lab to the onboard 1553/429 interfaces under test.

BENEFITS

• Embedded Intel Processor Provides Programming Flexibility, Enabling the AIC to Serve a Broad Range of Data Conversion and Unique Application Needs.
• Hardware Flexibility to Suit Your Current and Future Needs... the AIC is Compatible with all Linux-based PMC and Mini-PCIe I/O Boards.
• Optimized Hardware and Software Solution with Field-Proven Technology, Saves Development Time and Costs.
• Three Modes of Operation Provide Complete Bridging Capability for Lab Environments.

• Three Modes of Operation, Using DDC's Hardware and Software
  1. Remote Access Mode Uses Ethernet as a Virtual Backplane Between Applications Running on a Host Computer and 1553/429 Interfaces Located Within the AIC, Eliminating the Need and Cost of Long Cabling to Onboard 1553/429 Connections from the Test Lab.
  2. Protocol Conversion Mode Uses Bridging SDK, Which Allows Users to Easily Create Embedded Software on the AIC that will Autonomously Forward Data Between MIL-STD-1553, ARINC 429, and Ethernet Interfaces.
  3. Standalone Mode Allows the AIC to Operate as a User Programmable Computer System.
