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.

One issue that fleet owners face for their older aircraft is the obsolescence of avionics systems. This paper presents different strategies for addressing this growing problem, including replacing obsolete line replaceable units (LRUs) using commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) products.

This white paper discusses the challenges faced by hypersonic vehicles and proposes how flight test instrumentation (FTI) can aid in overcoming the challenges.

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.

This paper discusses some of the hardware and software challenges imposed on FTI by various standards and addresses them.

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

There is increasing demand for high-quality HD video for airborne applications such as flight test instrumentation (FTI). Ideally, new HD cameras can reduce the weight and difficulty of installing wiring, and enable data to be coherently combined with images through built-in compression.

This white paper looks at the motivations behind introducing requirements for some form of flight recorders, what options are available and discusses what may be the best choice.

This white paper discusses the problem of inefficient maintenance, lack of access to the right data, and how aircraft can be retrofitted with instrumentation to more quickly identify impending failures, rapidly repair them, and minimize aircraft downtime.

This white paper examines DAU heat challenges, including dissipation, and the best strategies to meet size and performance constraints without compromising data integrity with excessive heat build-up.
