- Astronics Ballard Technology
A range of PCI Express (PCIe) and PCI avionics Interface cards to interface with a variety of avionics databuses for testing, validating and simulating commercial and military avionics equipment and systems.
Featuring a modular design, the OmniBus II PCIe cards allow you to order a combination of avionics protocols. These high-performance cards are available to interface to protocols including MIL-STD-1553, ARINC 429/708/717, serial and discrete I/O.
Available as PCIe or PCI the Lx5 avionics interface cards can be ordered with either the MIL-STD-1553 or with ARINC 429 and/or ARINC 717.
