Live In-Booth FTI Solution Demonstrations
At ITC, Curtiss-Wright’s booth will feature several live demonstrations of advanced FTI technologies, including:
- TmNS Air to Ground System: This demo shows how TmNS transceivers work, focusing on message building, data-on-demand functions, and transceiver handoff.
- MDAU-1394: A high data rate (HDR) module is used to demonstrate how to significantly reduce the complexity, module count, and cost for simultaneously capturing bulk digital avionics bus data and telemetering selected data during flight tests.
- Re-packaged Miniature Airborne Telemeter System: This demo displays the capability of the miniature airborne telemetry system (MATS) that provides many functions, including PCM encoding, AES-256 encryption, and transmission, in a compact module stack.
- NXDP-4000-1: This demo showcases the IADS® NXDP-4000, a SWaP-optimized solution for airborne data analysis and visualization.
- High-Definition Video Camera: This camera setup features a high-quality video product capable of encoding at 1080p and 60 fps.
- High-Speed Camera: A high-speed camera system, containing a camera manager, switch and a recorder, is used to demonstrate modern high-speed video capture.
- Axon/ADAU Data Acquisition System: The latest modules and features of the Axon/ADAU data acquisition system are showcased, including the new miniature Axon Pico power over Ethernet (PoE) data acquisition unit (DAU).
- IADS RT Station & Post-Test Explorer: This demo highlights IADS display, analysis, and post-test software suite capabilities, along with recently added new features.
