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.

Yeap, Naval Tactical Data System (I just found that on the net.)
Surprised that I've never heard of it before.
I just
checked out the weird card that was in the old PC. It's a
MIL-STD-1397C communications interface. Here's a link to a site about the
card (a Navigator II). <http://www.sabtech.com/productlist.aspx?str=27>
I've never heard of this MIL STD before is anyone familar with it?
NTDS, I think?
Its a fairly bulletproof serial bus. Military, but
you
knew that.
Do you know if it's still in use?
