Dual Protocol Network Interface Card (Air Force)
Abstract
This project evaluates a network interface card that supports both low-speed legacy Military Standard 1553B and high-speed North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) Standardization Agreement (STANAG) 7221 protocols. This provides an affordable upgrade path to high-speed 100 Mbps data throughput for aircraft networks enabling weapons systems to perform at desired warfighting capability levels. This project enhances DoD capabilities in the FNC3 focus area. If successful, this technology will transition to the Air Force Program Executive Office Fighter/Bombers for follow on procurement and fielding on military aircraft. Initial test planning and contract preparation occurred in FY 2019. Test article received in 2Q FY 2020. Laboratory testing occurred in 3Q FY 2020.
