MIL-HDBK-1760, MILITARY HANDBOOK AIRCRAFT/STORE ELECTRICAL INTERCONNECTION SYSTEM. This Handbook was developed by a team including members from the three US military services, the UK MOD, the SAE AS-1B committee, and contractors. It includes information previously published in document ASD-TR-87-5028 with certain elements of ASD-TR-91-5009. Some of this information was also published in DEF-STAN-00-69 (Part II), which is written around MIL-STD-1760B. This version of this Handbook is written around MIL-STD-1760C and assumes that the reader is also reading 1760C. 2. This Handbook provides information on the implementation of a standardized electrical interconnection system, as defined by MIL-STD-1760, into both current and future aircraft and stores. It provides guidance on design considerations and options for including the standard interface capability at the aircraft's store stations and for providing a common electrical interface on carriage stores and mission stores. As a handbook, it cannot be invoked as a requirement in a contract. 3. Trends in weapon system designs (aircraft and stores) caused concern over the general proliferation of aircraft-to-store electrical interfacing requirements and the resulting high cost to achieve interoperability between aircraft and stores. The intent of MIL-STD-1760 is to reduce the aircraft/store electrical integration problem by specifying a standard electrical interface between aircraft and stores. The standard electrical interface is based on recognized trends in store management systems which use serial digital data transmission for control, monitor and release of stores.
