MIL-STD-1553 is a standard that was established as a U.S. Air Force standard in 1973 and first used on the F-16 Falcon Fighter Aircraft. Its purpose is for a failsafe redundant communication databus for use on military aircraft and other platforms.

Sital enhances this legacy technology with advanced features like Cyber Authentication, IDS/IPS (which includes BC Firewall), and wire fault detection and location. These aspects make it one of the safest and most secure communication systems available.
