MIL-STD-1553 and ARINC 429 Instruments
AIT announces new line of combination MIL-STD-1553 and ARINC 429 instruments.
Avionics Interface Technologies (AIT), a Teradyne Company and a leader in avionics communications technologies, is proud to announce the launch of its new line of avionics data bus instruments, designed to seamlessly communicate using both MIL-STD-1553 and ARINC 429 standards. This development represents a significant advancement in legacy data bus test and simulation instruments. Available in various form factors (PCIe, PXIe, XMC, USB, and Ethernet), these new instruments incorporate AIT’s industry-leading capabilities in both data bus protocols. Each instrument pushes industry boundaries for channel density and performance, offering the most flexible solution for MIL-STD-1553 and ARINC 429 instrumentation and interface hardware.

“I’m excited that we have been able to take advantage of the latest technologies, ” said Troy Troshynski, AIT Business Unit Manager, “we can now offer our industry-leading MIL-STD-1553 and ARINC 429 capabilities in single-board solutions and in multiple form factors.”
High Density
Whether you are developing rugged avionics for the harshest environments, designing advanced simulations requiring precise time synchronization, or integrating automated test systems with decades-long operational lifespans, higher density avionics interfaces are crucial for maximizing your design. AIT provides the highest density MIL-STD-1553 and ARINC 429 devices, including versatile combination devices that enable you to select the perfect channel density for your specific project needs.
Highly Capable
AIT’s combination devices are based on the same FPGA implementation as AIT’s standalone MIL-STD-1553 and ARINC 429 products. Each channel provides unmatched capability, and are are capable of test and verification of bus protocols and bus electrical characteristics.
Highly Flexible
AIT’s MIL-STD-1553 and ARINC 429 instruments are designed to support the most demanding applications. We provide rugged, reliable avionics bus solutions for a variety of flight test and avionics communications needs. With our expertise in avionics bus and network protocols, we specialize in building the most reliable and capable interfaces.
Combination MIL-STD-1553 and ARINC 429 devices are available in a variety of form factors:
- PCIe
- PXIe
- USB
- Ethernet
- XMC

Modern avionics systems rely heavily on complex control systems that utilize real-time data buses such as MIL-STD-1553 and ARINC 429. As experts in avionics communications technologies, AIT offers a wide range of avionics bus and network interfaces, supporting software, and engineering expertise to ensure the success of any avionics system test program, including demanding Hardware-in-the-Loop (HIL) applications.
Depot and operational level testers must support a wide range of testing capabilities. To achieve this, it is essential that Automated Test Equipment (ATE) systems can handle MIL-STD-1553 and ARINC 429 interfaces, which remain relevant as aircraft system life cycles are extended. AIT’s FPGA designs are independent of third-party designs, ensuring long-term support for ATE systems.
