    Abstract: A wireless precision avionics kit is provided for retrofitting aircraft to facilitate communication between the cockpit and modern military stores without hardware or software modifications to the aircraft. The store includes an electrical interface that requires data and possibly power from the aircraft and provides for communication via a message set. The kit may be used with any aircraft that provides a rack or pylon for mounting the store and the capability to release the store. The kit may be used with aircraft having no existing capability to communicate with smart stores, with aircraft having an incompatible interface for modern stores or even with aircraft that have a compatible hardware interface for which the software is outdated.
