ARINC

The name ARINC is an abbreviation of the company Aeronautical Radio Incorporated of Annapolis, Maryland, USA. The company exists since 1929 and has in recent years made ​​especially in the aerospace and avionics a name so that a number of communication protocols between different computer systems have been standardized on the basis of ARINCs recommendations. There is hardly a difference between civilian or military application, for both versions ARINC has defined standards. The company employed about 3,200 people in 2003 in about 104 countries and had annual sales of more than 600 million U.S. $.

Standards

The best known is probably the standard ARINC 429 aircraft from Airbus and Boeing use this protocol to connect different systems together. The standard for navigation data is defined by the ARINC 424 protocol. Therein, the data format for the exchange of navigational data between Nav Data Provider will ( Lufthansa Systems FlightNav AG (formerly LIDO Flight Nav ), Jeppesen Sanderson, EAEC ) and Avionics manufacturers (Honeywell, Smith, Rockwell Collins, etc. ) is defined. Other widespread standards are ARINC 615 and the specially developed for the Boeing 777 ARINC 629 protocol, an evolution of the ARINC 429 protocol. The well-known under the term AFDX ARINC 664 protocol is based on the outside of aviation ubiquitous Ethernet standard. It is used, among other things, the Airbus A380 and the Boeing 787.

The ARINC in America has a status similar to the IEEE consortium. From their general standards are defined and incidentally operated commercial development and services.
