Disrupting Legacy Flight Test Instrumentation
WEBINAR: THURSDAY, MARCH 19, 2026
Legacy flight test instrumentation is evolving fast. Miniature onboard DAQ is helping engineers capture more data, reduce wiring complexity, and install instrumentation closer to sensors. The result: better data quality, faster setups, and more efficient flight test programs.
Join this upcoming webinar with Huy Nguyen, Aerospace & Defense Sales Manager at DTS, to explore how miniaturized onboard data acquisition is changing how flight test instrumentation is deployed and is disrupting traditional flight test instrumentation. Designed for flight test engineers seeking practical alternatives, the session outlines a smarter path forward for mission-critical testing. DTS will share proven strategies for accelerating program execution, reducing integration effort, and capturing accurate, reliable data in harsh environments.
Applications for discussion: Flight testing, rotors, eVTOL, air drop, munitions, UAS and counter-UAS, launch vehicles, hypersonics, and sounding rockets.
Attendees will learn:
- Why SWaP optimization is essential for modern flight test instrumentation
- How a lower-cost, modern DAQ and telemetry approach supports emerging programs such as eVTOL, low-cost weapon systems, and counter-UAS
- How COTS-based DAQ architectures reduce cost and integration time while enabling faster development cycles and rapid test deployment
- Real-world case studies showing how DTS solutions have transformed flight testing
- How customer feedback drives DTS product development and innovation.

Physical Data: The Engine Behind Digital Twins
The Role of Physical Data in Building Intelligent Digital Twins
In the fast-moving world of digital twins, the accuracy and reliability of virtual models still depend on one critical factor: physical data. The success of any digital twin hinges on two essential elements – the quality of real-world data it’s built on and the ability to access that data in real-time.
DTS, a California-based leader in high-performance data recorders, is at the forefront of this digital twin revolution. Renowned for its miniature, rugged data acquisition systems (DAS) and sensors, DTS provides solutions that seamlessly bridge the gap between physical systems and their digital counterparts. From automotive and aerospace to military and industrial sectors, organizations around the world are leveraging DTS hardware to elevate their digital twin capabilities.
DTS solutions deliver high-density, precision measurements that go beyond shock, vibration, force, and temperature – enabling digital twins to be built on accurate, comprehensive datasets.
Advanced capabilities like real-time data streaming enable continuous monitoring and instant feedback for digital twin models. This is especially valuable in high-stakes environments that demand immediate analysis and decision-making — such as flight testing and military defense operations. The SLICE6 AIR onboard recorder from DTS supports real-time streaming to ensure digital twins stay synchronized with the current state of their physical counterparts.
By integrating DTS hardware into digital twin development, organizations can anchor their virtual models in precise, real-world data. This accuracy enhances the fidelity and usefulness of digital twins, allowing teams to make informed decisions, optimize system performance, and predict outcomes with confidence. As the digital twin ecosystem evolves, DTS continues to be a trusted partner, delivering the high-performance tools needed to build reliable, real-time virtual representations of physical systems.
The SLICE6 AIR onboard data acquisition unit features real-time streaming capabilities, making it ideal for supporting digital twin modeling.

DTS Application Spotlight: Satellite Transportation Monitoring
How the TSR AIR data logger is helping ensure the safe transit of high-value assets
Overview | Dayton T. Brown, an engineering and testing consultant, was asked by an aerospace customer to help solve a logistics challenge. The task was to monitor a fleet of 40-foot refrigerated shipping containers transporting satellites to a launch site across the USA. The satellites were both high-value and fragile, so the customer wanted to measure every event the cargo encountered over 2 g, and any triggers above 0.5 g.
Why DTS
Ease of Use: The TSR AIR is more advanced than other data loggers, plus the user interface is intuitive to navigate, which makes downloading data easy.
Unit-to-Unit Synchronization: Another key feature was the TSR AIR’s ability to synchronize data across multiple daisy-chained units. The trailer was a ‘clean room’ so the data needed to be collected from outside the trailer. The data loggers were daisy-chained inside the trailer and DTB engineered a single cable connection that was accessible from the outside of the container allowing the customer to get “as close to real-time data as possible.” The units can also be synchronized via IEEE 1588 PTP, IRIG or GPS. Responsive to Customer Needs: The TSR AIR originally did not feature 0.5g trigger capabilities. DTS developed and added this functionality to support the application requirements for Dayton T. Brown, Inc. and its client. To learn more about how TSR AIR is being used to solve this transportation monitoring challenge READ THE FULL ARTICLE HERE
