Abstract:

The trends in weapon system designs aircraft and stores has resulted in a growing concern over the general proliferation of aircraft-to- store electrical interfacing requirements and the resulting high cost to achieve interoperability between aircraft and stores. MIL-STD-1760 was prepared to reduce the aircraftstore electrical integration problem by specifying a standard electrical interface between aircraft and stores. The standard electrical interface is based on recognized trends in store management systems which use serial digital transmission for control, monitor, and release of stores. This report deals with the interoperability requirements as described in MIL-STD-1760 and is intended to be an aid to understanding and meeting the requirements for both current and future weapon systems. In general, this report provides the following a An overview of MIL-STD-1760 requirements, exclusions and future growth provisions. b Detail design considerations applicable to the Aircraft Station Interface ASI. c Detail design considerations applicable to the Mission Store Interface MSI. d AircraftStore Physical Design Considerations. e A commentary on the requirements in MIL-STD-1760.
