A Google search for "MIL-STD-1397C" had 149 hits. From one PDF I
looked at: "The Naval Tactical Data Systems (NTDS) interface
(MIL-STD-1397C) is a point-to-point communications specification used by
nearly all of the Navy s peripheral devices such as monitors, radar
systems, printers, tape drives and encryption devices, in order to talk
to legacy host tactical computer systems."
A few names are very recurrent, such as Sabtech, Wind River, and GET
Engineering.
I've seen it referred to as obsolete by some vendors. I don't know
exactly what the context of "obsolete" is.
