looks like you can buy one:

The second link is very likely NOT the right driver. This is an interface from AIM GmbH. That driver is for the AIT 1553 interface hardware boards. Almost the same letters but not the same hardware manufacturer.
The first link seems however to match the manufacture and as its page says it is a wrapper. That means simply a VI library to access the manufacturer specific DLL driver. But you need to watch out, the driver page talks about the ACX1553 hardware while the OP talks about the ASC1553 hardware board.
The ACX is the PXI version of the interface and the ASC is the USB version. It is very possible and likely that AIM has an universal API interface for all its 1553 hardware so that driver may also work for the USB interface.
Hi,
These are not the right drivers, the driver is available in the NI Package Manager, just do a simple search with the term "1553" to find it. It is also available on the AIM site. It contains a complete library and some very useful examples, but it lacks examples of how to use the buffer functions needed when you know that the frequency of exchanges can exceed kHz (I'm looking for that, and I'll ask NI support again). you can find it on the product page for your card on the AIM website
There's also a very useful and indispensable piece of software called 'PBA.pro', which can play the role of a 'soft front panel' and help to understand the protocol and carry out tests without programming: it can be found on the AIM site, it's not free (30-day evaluation period), and there's a light version. Depending on the software options, it is possible to integrate Python scripts, particularly for the production and validation test program AS4111 and AS4112 tests in the MIL-STD-1553 standard.

However, the LabVIEW driver could be improved in terms of architecture quality, and I've pointed out a bug in the communication error status feedback (a def type is missing on the 'status flag' cluster, they've used the 'Array to cluster' function and a simple 'bundle' (not 'bundle by name'):
