Proven solutions for missile, sounding rocket, UAV, space vehicle, rotorcraft, and fast jet test applications.

One approach for significantly reducing wiring weight and simplifying the installation of distributed data acquisition systems (DAS) on test aircraft is to leverage Power Over Ethernet (PoE), first standardized by the IEEE in 2003[1].

Hypersonic platforms provide a challenge for flight test campaigns due to the application’s flight profiles and environments.

This white paper examines the different approaches to building a comprehensive FTI system, the advantages and disadvantages of mixing different vendors’ products, and the likely impact of future developments.

For many aircraft, there is sufficient space to place data acquisition units (DAU), recorders, and transmitters in a dedicated instrumentation rack and/or throughout the aircraft. However, there are several aircraft where there is very limited space.

This white paper discusses an approach where data acquisition units (DAU) conduct the fast Fourier transform (FFT) analysis in real-time to optimize PCM telemetry bandwidth.

This white paper discusses an approach where data acquisition units (DAU) conduct the fast Fourier transform (FFT) analysis in real-time to optimize PCM telemetry bandwidth.

This white paper looks at different TSPI solutions and discusses requirements before concluding with thoughts on an optimal system for modern flight test applications.

This paper describes strategies for encrypting data at rest and in motion, with a particular emphasis on encrypting telemetry data for applications such as flight tests.

We uncover what influences switch and recorder requirements for a distributed FTI system and a single recorder alternative.

The Telemetry Network Standard (TmNS), was recently released in IRIG 106-19. This white paper presents an overview of TmNS and compares it to the 5G alternative.

High-definition and high-speed images and video are essential for many flight test, space, and monitoring applications.

This white paper looks at the early developments in electromagnetic theory and electronics (the 1800s to 1960s) and the modern era of electronics (1960s to present). It discusses the current technologies finding their way into modern transmitters.

To support the demand for Internet access by smartphones, tablets, and other mobile devices, the U.S. Government auction for airwaves saw the standard telemetry frequency bands reassigned for mobile broadband use. Despite this development, the transition

Read this white paper to learn more about high-speed cameras and how they can provide users with the ability to conduct in-depth, quantitative analysis of their high-speed images.
