Integrated communications management unit and very high frequency data radio

摘要

A system for air-ground (120) and air-air (122) communications wherein a VHF data radio (204) is coupled to a high-speed bus (304). The VHF data radio complies with the ARINC 716/750 standard and is accessible via the bus using a programmable interface (306). A communications management unit (208) can also be coupled to the high-speed bus, which communicates with the VHF data radio via the bus according to the programmable interface.
