  • Patent number: 5992290
    Abstract: A digital interface device conveys signals between aircraft data busses and a wingtip weapons station. A first interface is provided, coupling to an F/A-18 Aircraft Instrumentation Subsystem Internal (AISI) input/output connector. A second interface is coupled to a secondary armament bus. A crossover cable interconnects the wingtip weapon station to the secondary armament bus. A digital data processing module is coupled to the first and second interfaces and programmed to convey signals between aircraft data systems coupled to the F/A-18 AISI input/output connector and the wingtip weapon station. Namely, the processing module monitors signals received on the input/output connector, and extracts signals addressed to one or more predetermined addresses. The module also transmits the reformatted signals to the wingtip weapon station. With a minimum of wiring changes, the interface easily converts an aircraft designed for a nose-mounted ACT pod for use with an ACT pod mounted at a wingtip station.
