ISO 18445:2013

ISO 18445:2013 specifies extensions to the API needed for support of the Command Link Transmission Unit (CLTU) service defined in CCSDS 912.1-B-2. ISO 18445:2013 defines extensions to the SLE API in terms of: the CLTU-specific functionality provided by API components; the CLTU-specific interfaces provided by API components; and the externally visible behavior associated with the CLTU interfaces exported by the components. It does not specify individual implementations or products; the internal design of the components; and the technology used for communications. ISO 18445:2013 defines only interfaces and behavior that must be provided by implementations supporting the forward CLTU service in addition to the specification in CCSDS 914.0-M-1.
