GE Intelligent Platforms Avionics
Leadership For more than two decades, GE Intelligent Platforms has been a leader in avionics products for military and aerospace applications. Our products portfolio supports the main aircraft interface technologies (MILSTD-1553B and ARINC 429) that have been the standard for the past 50 years in the industry. We have also invested in the new high-speed, determinist Ethernetbased technologies, AFDX/ARINC 664.
GE’s MIL-STD-1553 interface hardware represents the latest generation of bus products to feature high-speed encoding and decoding along with large onboard memory capacity. Each of our boards is designed to accurately buffer and record bus traffic with no date loss, all while simultaneously scheduling 1553 messages. Ever mindful of platform lifecycle issues, our FPGA-based products provide a long-term migration path with in-field firmware updates.
Products 4 Recognizing the critical importance of subsystems communications in aircraft, GE has developed a range of products that deliver the required reliability, speed, and richness of features. Regardless of whether the system requires MIL-STD-1553, 10Mbit 1553, ARINC 429 or AFDX/ARINC 664, GE has the right technology solution. GE’s Avionics interface boards are compatible with PCI, PCI express, CompactPCI®, PXI, PC/104, PC/104-Plus, AMC, USB, PCMCIA, ExpressCard, VME, VXI, VPX, PMC and XMC platforms.

Support We help our customers reduce program risks from design to decommissioning while also reducing costs both in development and deployment with our world-class Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) and Program Management (PM) services. GE Intelligent Platform’s PLM program ensures that parts are available to service routine and emergency maintenance, and anticipates technology advances to allow for technology upgrades with a minimum of hardware or software disruption.
MIL-STD-1553 We offer a wide range of intelligent MIL-STD-1553 interface hardware to meet demanding application needs. Our 1553 product line combines high-speed encoding/decoding, large onboard memory, intelligent protocol processing and advanced board-level functionality. This enables accurate buffering and recording of bus traffic with no data loss while simultaneously scheduling 1553 messages without host intervention.
ARINC 429 Our ARINC solutions provide feature-rich functionality, ease of use and exceptional performance for embedded, test and simulation applications. Most interfaces offer individual channel programmability for source or sink, and an optional IRIG B receive time stamp. The PCI and PMC interfaces offer on-board transmit channel listen feature. They provide a user-friendly design to the host system with on-board management of transmission, receive, and data logging execution.
AFDX ARINC 664 AFDX is a deterministic protocol for real time application on Ethernet media, also known as ARINC 664 Part 7. AFDX is intended for aircraft flight critical interfaces, including Engines, Flight Controls, Navigation Systems. With both hardware-based and software loadable AFDX, we support AFDX across evolving platforms to protect your avionics investment.
