Patent number: 10122833Abstract: A technology is described for converting a time tag in a message. The message can be received from a military standard-1760 (MIL-STD-1760) bus controller. The message can include a time tag in accordance with a first time stamping technique. The time tag in the message can be detected as being in accordance with the first time stamping technique based on contents of the message. A recomputed time tag for the message can be determined in accordance with a second time stamping technique. The message with the recomputed time tag can be transmitted to a Universal Armament Interface (UAI) remote terminal.Type: GrantFiled: February 19, 2016Date of Patent: November 6, 2018Assignee: Raytheon CompanyInventor: Bradley Bomar Hammel
