Rugged, Reliable, High Speed Avionics Bus & Network Solutions

Ethernet & Fibre Channel network devices, legacy bus interfaces, protocol IP, and flight test systems for on-aircraft applications

Flight Test Data Acquisition

Avionics systems increasingly rely on high speed network technologies such as Fibre Channel and Ethernet to meet the every increasing demands for bandwidth. To support flight test data acquisition from these networks, where data rates of 10Gbps and above are common, advanced solutions such as the Avionics Network Data Aggregator (ANDA) are required to provide data aggregations, intelligent data selection, and data routing.

Data Aggregation

With the ANDA, is is possible to capture network data from multiple Ethernet and Fibre Channel input interfaces and to aggregate those data streams onto 1Gbit/s or 10Gbit/s Ethernet data streams to a flight test data recorder

 

Data Selection

The ANDA also provide the ability to intelligently select data parameters from captured Ethernet and Fibre Channel messages for transmission over telemetry. This allows the selection of specific data parameters for real time transmission over telemetry an essential feature during flight test of high speed avionics systems using Ethernet and Fibre Channel.

 

Data Routing

Additionally, the ANDA allows routing data from many Ethernet and Fibre Channel interfaces to different outputs. Routing can be based on Ethernet/IP and Fibre Channel header fields and allows routing to different data recorders on the flight test network or to different UDP ports (or Files) within the flight test networked recorders.

    Data Acquisition Units

    To meet the increasingly complex demands of flight test programs, enhancements and improvements to flight test telemetry systems are being realized through new standards such as the Telemetry Network Standard (TmNS). TmNS uses IP networks at it’s core to provide a fully interconnected telemetry system where all of the components can be controlled from standard interfaces. A key component of a TmNS network are Data Acquisition Units (DAU) which provide avionics bus data capture functions.

    The eDAQ-1553-FQ is a compact, rugged TmNS ready DAU capable of capturing MIL-STD-1553, and serial bus data and forwarding it to network attached recorders and telemetry gateways.
