MIL-STD-1553 is a communication standard used in military systems for reliable data transfer. While bridging between TCP/IP or UDP/IP and MIL-STD-1553 is possible through proprietary methods, TCP/IP and UDP/IP themselves are not natively used with MIL-STD-1553.

The MIL-STD-1553 standard is used for systems integration in flight controls, weapon systems, military avionics, and spacecraft. The International Space Station utilizes it for onboard data handling. It is also commonly found in fighter jets, attack aircraft, cargo planes, helicopters, and some military ground vehicles.
