Abstract
A model for the specification and analysis of communication
protocols called Systems of Communicating Machines is
used to describe and analyze a simplified version of the Mil-
Standard 1553 bus protocol. The protocol is used in the EA-
6B aircraft for digital communication between aircraft subsystems.
The model uses a combination of finite state machines,
variables and predicate action tables in the specification of
the Bus Controller and Remote Terminals. The enabling
predicates determine when a transition may be taken on the
finite state machine and actions alter variable values as
transitions occur. Normal, error-free 1553 bus command/
response information transfers are modeled. The 1553 Mil-
Standard does not contain an equivalent specification using a
formally-defined model.
Practical application to the EA-6B Prowler is focused upon
the requirements for transparent integration of the AN/ASQ-191
Radio Countermeasures Set into the existing aircraft bus
architecture. Transparent integration into the tactical
jamming system of the aircraft would make the ASQ-191 receiver
and jamming operations an integral part of aircraft operation
and employment, and permit integrated pre-mission planning
with TEAMS.
