No, MIL-STD-1553 is not Ethernet. However, it can be bridged with Ethernet in some systems. MIL-STD-1553 is a military standard for serial data buses that has been used for over 40 years.

While MIL-STD-1553 and Ethernet are different technologies, hybrid systems can combine them by using Ethernet’s OSI model to create two communication channels. This setup can enhance error detection and improve reliability.
