BRU-78 is designed for weapons 500-pounds and smaller using conventional, MIL-STD-1760 and Universal Armament Interface (UAI) communications. L3Harris-patented electronics are installed in the fairing of the BRU-78 and allow for carriage of a wide array of precision-guided munitions, including the GBU-12/49/59 laser-guided bombs, GBU-38/52/54 joint direct attack munitions (JDAMs) and GBU-39/53 small diameter bombs. BRU-78’s innovative and patented bus buffer system permits the aircraft to communicate with the
carried weapons like they are electrically connected directly to the aircraft main bus. The system uses two L3Harris-designed BRU-71 ejector units as the mechanical interface to the weapons and includes both the MIL-STD-1760 and miniature munitions stores interface (MMSI) umbilicals. The BRU-78 is currently being qualified for flight on the MQ-9 Reaper. It is qualified to MIL-STD-7743, MIL-STD-810, and MIL-STD-461/462.
