A number of bus systems have become established in the aerospace industry. Vector offers universal support for these bus networks with proven products and comprehensive services:
| Protocol | Description | Products |
| CAN proprietary | Until now CAN has primarily been implemented with proprietary protocols in the aerospace field. Efforts are currently underway to standardize its use in ARINC 825 (see below). | CANalyzer.CANaerospace CANoe.CANaerospace |
| ARINC 810 / 812 | ARINC 810 and 812 specify communication between modules in the on-board galley (Galley Master, Galley Inserts). The focus here is on power management. | CANalyzer.CANaerospace CANoe.CANaerospace |
| ARINC 825 | ARINC 825 specifies both the fundamental communication within CAN-based subsystems and between CAN subsystems, which for example are interconnected by AFDX. It offers addressing mechanisms, communication mechanisms, a service structure, profile descriptions and much more. | CANalyzer.CANaerospace CANoe.CANaerospace |
| ARINC 826 |
ARINC 826 specifies Software Data Load over CAN. The mechanisms of ARINC 615A were adapted and optimized for CAN here. | CANalyzer.CANaerospace CANoe.CANaerospace |
| ARINC 664 / AFDX | AFDX (Avionics Full DupleX Switched Ethernet) will serve as the next generation aircraft data network. It is already being implemented in the A380, A350, B787 and other programs. | In planning |
| CANaerospace | CANaerospace was developed by the company Stock Flight Systems. Key protocol applications are in engineering simulators, simulation cockpits and especially in the Italian field on drones (UAVs). | CANalyzer.CANaerospace CANoe.CANaerospace |
| CANopen | CANopen is widely used in general embedded systems. In the aerospace field, it is used in integration of industrial COTS and in demonstrators. | Vector Solutions for CANopen |
| Ethernet | In addition to AFDX, standard Ethernet is being used, e.g. in entertainment systems. | CANalyzer.IP CANoe.IP |
| FlexRay | FlexRay is a scalable, flexible high-speed communication system that fulfills growing safety-related requirement in the automobile. | Vector Solutions for FlexRay |
