MODIFICATION & COMPATIBILITY

MODIFICATION TESTING

RAPID DEPLOYMENT DATA ACQUISITION UNITS (DAU)

The Challenge:

• Installation of flight test instrumentation (FTI) may require days to months for a single test
• Time required to disassemble complex sensor cabling network to central FTI
• Limited options to handle test modifications (ie. additional channels or points of interest)
• Space, weight and power constraints, especially on aircraft store and unmanned aerial systems/vehicles (UAS/UAV)
• Limited access to aircraft and instrumentation, schedule changes and delays
• Instrumentation cannot easily be moved or altered to support last minute changes
• Access limitations based on wired solutions, especially for new areas of interest
• Data fidelity, reliability and power issues due to long, complex cable runs

The Solution:

• SLICE6 AIR miniature data acquisition units
• Standalone, networked or integrate into existing Ethernet-based FTI systems
• Standardized network support (IRIG CH10 or TmNS)
• IEEE 1588 PTPv2 timing supported via Ethernet
• Ultra‐small, embeds on or in test article near sensors, eliminating long cable runs
• Easy and quick installation supports test modifications and prewired test articles
• Universal analog sensor conditioning (Bridge, IEPE, TC, Voltage) – all in one package
• IP67 rated for extreme environments including high shock, vibration, temperature
• 500 g shock hardened for destructive tests and installations aboard expandable stores
• Data streaming and onboard recording to 16 GB flash memory for data redundancy
