The Generic Aircraft-Store Interface Framework

This paper announces the intention of the SAE AS-1 Committee to standardize on a common framework for modeling and defining aircraft-store logical interfaces, called GASIF. The paper then advocates a common framework that might serve as a suitable starting point for this project. The purpose of GASIF is to foster greater interoperability between aircraft and stores through coordinated standards development and programs.

FIELD OF APPLICATION - The field of application for this paper is military aircraft/store avionics, where a ‘store’ may be defined as any in-flight separable device (such as an air-launched weapon) that when loaded on an aircraft allows it to perform a specific mission.
