Zusammenfassung:	The test system 100 includes a system test unit 102 with test unit interfaces 104A to 104D at least one of which 104C includes a communications protocol converter 106A. There is at least one remote test rig assemblies 110C, and each test rig assembly includes a test rig with a mounted operational aircraft subsystem. Each test rig assembly 110A to 110C also includes a test rig assembly interface 114A to 114C, with a communications protocol converter 106B, coupled to a respective one of the test unit interfaces (here 114C). The system test unit is configured to provide aircraft simulation commands to the test unit interfaces and in response to the commands receive status signals from the test rig assembly interfaces. The aircraft simulation commands and the status signals are in a first protocol that is converted to a second protocol by the communications protocol converter for transmission over a respective one of the communications connections.
