This document establishes techniques for validating that a mission store complies with the interface requirements contained in MIL-STD-1760 Revision D.

Purpose

The purpose of this document is to provide methods for validating that a mission store's electrical interface complies with the mission store interface (MSI) requirements of MIL-STD-1760. This document provides a set of modular, independent methods covering each of the requirements placed on the store by MIL-STD-1760. The methods contained herein apply to both the primary and auxiliary interfaces of MIL-STD-1760.

Application

The methods herein apply to the initial validation of a store design to the requirements of MIL-STD-1760 and are expected to be conducted as part of store design validation as opposed to qualification test, conformance test, flight-line test, etc. The methods contained in this document are sufficient to encompass the Class I interface. Mission stores with Class II MSIs will use the appropriate subset of these Class I methods.

Tailoring

The methods contained herein are general methods for conducting mission store validation and, as such, do not provide detailed procedures for these methods. It is intended that detailed procedures for validation of a specific mission store will be covered by tailored test plans and procedures prepared specifically for that store. These tailored test procedures would, for example, address those store-specific commands required to step through sufficient operations and states to demonstrate compliance with the particular aircraft/store electrical interconnection system (AEIS) requirement under test.

Limitations:

The methods contained herein are based on MIL-STD-1760. This AS is based on the assumption that all tests are conducted at the store's MSI connector and measurements of store performance occur only at this MSI connector.

Identification System:

The test methods contained in this document are designated by an alphanumeric identification scheme. Each method is identified by a three alphabetical character combination followed by a three-digit number.

The three numbers following the letter code is a sequentially assigned number such that numbers 101 to 199 are for aircraft station interface (ASI) requirements and 201 to 299 are for mission stores interface (MSI) requirements. When applicable, the letter following this three-digit number is the test method revision letter. For example, HBW201 represents the original version of the first test requirement for the MSI high bandwidth interface while HBW201A represents the first revision of that test requirement.
