I have done a substantial amount of design/programming/consulting for an aircraft -- not a Gulfstream but a MD-10.

Beware that anything that directly connects to the aircraft electronics or structure, particularly on a permanent or nearly-permanent basis will require a somewhat insane level of both vetting and engineering, likely in the form of a Supplemental Type Certificate, or STC, and has a pretty high potential liability component (see also the Swissair 111 incident).

(e.g. I had to initiate the revision of an equipment cabinet door to improve ventilation and getting drawings back from an aeronautical engineer was, as I understand it, a several thousand $ endeavor and was over a year from end-to-end. E.g. the type of thing that some cabinetry dude would just out a router and have done in 20 minutes in normal construction. For the same reason most of the aircraft I know and love's payload is actually built on cargo pallets and structurally and electrically independent of the host aircraft to minimize the number of those type of concerns.

If the onboard system is integrated with the aircraft electronics I would not be at all surprised if control is via an ARINC 429 or ARINC 664 interface but the particulars aren’t likely to be freely shared.
