Stores-Aircraft Interface
Abstract
Universal Armament Interface (UAI) is an Air Force program to develop, enhance, and implement standardized interfaces in current and future aircraft (manned or unmanned), weapons and mission planning to support integration of weapons independent of aircraft Operational Flight Program (OFP) cycles. UAI is currently being implemented on the F-15E, F-16 Block 40/50, and EPAF(European Participating Air Forces) F-16 aircraft, Small Diameter Bomb (SDB) I and II, Joint Direct Attack Munition (JDAM), Laser JDAM, Joint Air-to-Surface Stand-off Missile (JASSM) and Precision Guided Munitions Planning Software (PGMPS). Additional aircraft and weapons, including but not limited to, Joint Strike Fighter (JSF/F-35), MQ-9, as well as Army and Navy systems, have program plans to implement UAI. The UAI program office is responsible for development and enhancement of the standard (U.S. and allied), support to coalition/allied/joint interoperability efforts for weapons-platform interface efforts, provision of certification tools (test assets) and implementation support to aircraft and weapons.
