Fibre Channel Avionics Environment (FC-AE), is a group of protocols and profiles that specify Fibre Channel options for devices connected by fabric and/or loop topologies that are pertinent to their use in commercial and military aerospace industries. The primary areas of interest include avionic command, control, instrumentation, simulation, signal processing, and sensor/video data distribution. The primary objective of this technical report is to maximize the likelihood of interoperability between conforming implementations and to simplify implementations and their associated documentation, Testing, and support requirements. This technical report incorporates features from the referenced INCITS standards.
