Building A Physical 1553 Bus Network

Abstract

This paper presents the design and implementation of a physical MIL-STD-1553 bus network, utilizing Arduino IoT microcontrollers which will be integrated with sensors to emulate the Bus Controller (BC), Remote Terminals (RTs) and Bus Monitor (BM). Key aspects of the implementation involve ensuring compatibility with the MIL-STD-1553 standard and addressing signal integrity in the network. The paper will detail the bus architecture, sensor integration and data communication protocols as well as offer insights into limitations of using Arduino-based platforms in complex bus networks.
