I was looking up the transfer speeds of firewire 800 when I ran across this gem in wikipedia.

Alternative uses for IEEE 1394

IEEE 1394b is used in military aircraft, where weight savings are desired. Developed for use as the data bus on the F-22 Raptor, it is also used on the F-35 Lightning II.^[17] NASA's Space Shuttle also uses IEEE 1394b to monitor debris (foam, ice) which may hit the vehicle during launch.^[17] This standard should not be confused with the unrelated MIL-STD-1394B, which is concerned with the construction quality of hats.
