The AIM-2004/2005R/2006 units support external recorders and are designed to accept up to four, five, or six data acquisition cards that provide various interfaces.
The MSSR Chapter 10 multiplexer with solid-state recorder is used in demanding applications such as airborne instrumentation recording.
The nREC-4000S-2 is an intelligent IP flight recorder.
The nREC-6000 airborne networked recorder communicates with a network of high-speed data acquisition and multiplexing units using one or two copper Gigabit Ethernet links.
QrNexus Advanced Data Server and Recorder
There is a growing need for a small form factor, rapidly installable, all-in-one instrumentation recorder for flight test and other airborne applications. For this need, Curtiss-Wright developed the QrNexus product family. This recording system leverages our legacy breadth of products to produce a best-in-class solution that allows users to capture, record, and output data based on their unique requirements. The QrNexus product family consists of a range of advanced data server and recorder (ADSR) products. These are ideal for many uses, including a mission data recorder, mission file server, digital video recorder, or instrumentation network recorder.

Modern, High-Speed FTI Recorder and Switch Requirements and Use Cases
Flight test instrumentation (FTI) architectures are increasingly migrating to airborne “network” systems, comprised of distributed sub-systems of data acquisition, processing, and recorders. One result is that the network switches forming the network switch fabric for these architectures become more critical, as do the FTI recorders that must acquire large amounts of data from different data sources in formats suitable for ground processing. This white paper discusses the factors influencing switch and recorder unit design for a distributed FTI system and a single recorder alternative.
