Lyrics
[FACE]
Yo, it's FACE in the place, interoperability king,
I bring together systems, let them do their thing.
Modular and open, I break down walls,
Across platforms and vendors, I answer the calls.
I standardize the software, make it reusable and neat,
While ARINC 661’s just a gooeey feat.
I'm the future of avionics, capability supreme,
From rotary to fixed-wing, I’m the pilot's dream.
[ARINC 661]
Step aside, FACE, I'm the interface ace,
When it comes to cockpit displays, DEGAS sets the pace.
With my widgets and layers, I define the look,
You handle the backend, I write the book.
I dictate how the avionics talk to the screen,
While you're busy with modules, I'm the visual queen.
From menus to maps, I make it all shine,
Your architecture’s cool, but my graphics are divine.
[FACE]
I see you got the visuals, but let's keep it real,
I'm all about the systems, the whole deal.
I enable the warfighter, bring software together,
Across all airframes, no matter the weather.
From avionics suites to mission apps,
I ensure they all speak, no gaps, no traps.
Your displays are flashy, but I’m the brains,
Without my architecture, you're just windowpanes.
[ARINC 661]
Brains you may have, but I bring the charm,
Pilots interact with me, I keep them from harm.
I standardize the HMI, make it intuitive and slick,
While you’re in the background, I’m the cockpit’s pick.
I define how the user controls and sees,
With custom widgets and interfaces, I aim to please.
You’re great with the logic, but without my view,
Pilots would be lost, with no clue what to do.
[FACE]
I’m all about the big picture, integration’s my game,
Ensuring systems work together, that’s my claim to fame.
From safety-critical to mission, I cover it all,
While you’re in the cockpit, I answer the call.
With portable components and a common core,
I future-proof avionics, open new doors.
Your gooeey are needed, but don’t get it twisted,
Without my foundation, your screens wouldn’t have existed.
[ARINC 661]
Respect where it’s due, FACE, you’re the backbone, it’s true,
But without my interface, what would pilots do?
I make the complex simple, the data clear,
In the cockpit environment, I conquer fear.
So let’s call it a truce, we each play our part,
Together we advance the avionics art.
From system integration to the pilot’s view,
FACE and ARINC 661, we both come through!
