SYSTEM DESIGN AND VERSATILE USE CASES APPROACH FOR A NEXT-GEN MODULAR FLIGHT TEST INSTRUMENTATION

Abstract

A few years ago, SDS presented the exploration of a new type of modular instrumentation that led to the realization of a proof of concept. This approach kickstarted the development of an innovative product addressing typical "pain points" of the Flight Test Instrumentation engineers. The purpose of this paper is to present the system design approach applied to this new product line. It will also demonstrate the broad range of use cases covered thanks to the versatility of this new concept and its standardized interfaces.
