A Unified Approach to Post-Test Analysis

Abstract

Post-test analysis in the flight test community tends to be a fragmented and largely project specific endeavor. Flight projects commonly spend an enormous amount of time and manpower building custom tools that satisfy the needs of the current project, but often are not reusable by subsequent projects. In recent discussions with teams from various flight projects, the IADS group has discovered a set of core common requirements that exist across many post-test projects. This paper will highlight these common requirements, as well as techniques that the IADS group has developed to meet those needs.
