High-speed Ethernet data recorder for use in demanding flight test programs introduced by Curtiss-Wright
ASHBURN, Va. – The Curtiss-Wright Corp. Defense Solutions Division in Ashburn, Va., is introducing the HSDR-2512 high-speed, high-capacity Ethernet data recorder for use in demanding flight test programs.
The HSDR-2512 captures as much as 180 terabytes of flight test data for a 3-hour recording time. Today's flight test engineers must handle vast amounts of critical data from increasingly high-speed data acquisition units (DAU) and avionics buses.
The HSDR-2512 recorder supports full line-rate data capture on its 12 10 Gigabit Ethernet inputs to deliver 16.5 gigabytes per second write speed. The unit uses liquid cooling. It can be used stand-alone or as part of a system.
The HSDR-2512-1 comprises an hREC-1000-2 recorder unit and an hREM-1000-2 memory storage unit. The hREM-1000-2 houses two hRMM-1090-X removable media modules, which together provide 180 terabytes of storage.
Flight test input data comes over the hREC-1000-2 optical input ports via a Curtiss-Wright Fiber Optic Switch (FOSW-2560-1), which provides 24 fiber-optic inputs and enables the selection of as many as 15 fiber optic outputs to route to the hREM media unit.
The hREC-1000-2 is installed on the test platform in a location closest to the FOSW-2560-1 fiber optic data source to minimize cable data loss, while the hREM-1000-2 memory storage unit can be installed in an easily accessible location to ease removal of the hRMM modules post-mission.
