One of the current trends in aircraft system design is a shift from federated/centralized architectures towards a more distributed approach. The increased use of distributed processing in critical real-time control systems, such as flight control, engine control and power management systems, is creating a demand for reliable data communication networks. There are many commercially available data communication standards but very few of them will satisfy the stringent environmental requirements of an aircraft, such as lightning immunity. MIL-STD-1553, which is well established in military aircraft, is a leading candidate for use in new commercial aircraft systems. [1] Airbus selected MIL-STD-1553 for use in the flight control system on the A-350XWB.
