Stores-Aircraft Interface
Abstract
Stores-Aircraft Interface: This project conducts stores-aircraft interface upgrades and standards development to include the Universal Armament Interface (UAI). UAI is an Air Force initiative to develop standardized software interfaces in aircraft, 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), B-1, B-52, LRS-B, MQ-9, JASSM-ER, CWDS as well as Army UAVs and Navy F/A-18 and UAVs, 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 and implementation support to aircraft and weapons.
