Rugged Airborne Flight Test Systems by Curtiss-Wright are First to Deploy Data Analysis/Visualization Software in Compact Mission Computer
ASHBURN, Va. – May 02, 2024 – Curtiss-Wright’s Defense Solutions Division has announced the availability of two new fully integrated Modular Open Systems Approach (MOSA) Airborne IADS mission computers that enable the airborne deployment of IADS RTStation, the market-leading software solution for real-time and post-test data visualization for flight test programs. The rugged Airborne IADS systems deliver the power and flexibility of the full IADS RTStation software suite directly to the pilot and flight test engineers onboard the test vehicle. This industry-first provides direct access to critical data analysis and visualization data onboard the aircraft while undergoing test flights. The IADS RTStation software translates industry-standard flight test data formats into an array of information-rich, complex 2D/3D visuals. Its client-server architecture enables scalable, remote capture of telemetry data, un-tethered from the flight test range. Every data point is cached, allowing real-time scroll-back through the time history.
Both the Airborne IADS NXDP-4000-1 and Airborne IADS NXDP-3000-1 systems combine a Microsoft® Windows® compatible Curtiss-Wright ruggedized Parvus® DuraCOR® mission computer with a full desktop version of IADS RTStation software. The size, weight, and power (SWaP) optimized ultra-small form factor (USFF) NXDP-3000-1 features an Intel® Atom™ x6400E processor-based Parvus DuraCOR 313 Mission Computer. For more compute-intensive airborne flight test programs, the small form factor (SFF) NXDP-4000-1, based on the Parvus DuraCOR 8044 Mission Computer featuring the more powerful Intel® Xeon-W processor, is also available. The Airborne IADS systems provide users with an interactive interface that enables them to quickly customize displays, parameter definitions, analysis options and test setups in a matter of seconds. Users can then send these customized data configurations to displays on a connected monitor.
