Abstract

"Naval Air Systems Command (NAVAIR) needs Digital Data Download (D3) with Crash Survivable Memory (CSM) to withstand up to 3400 g. To meet this NAVAIR need, Physical Optics Corporation (POC) has developed a prototype D3 with CSM, the Flight Anomalous EventRecorder Information Technology Open (FAERITO) D3. Specifically, POC developed two video compression hardware units, compatible with the MIL-STD-1553 bus for older aircraft and the CompactPCI bus for newer ones. The proposed Phase II development ofFAERITO combines the latest in crash survivable memory and sensor data processing, and supports unified recording of all vital aircraft data, combining the functions of the Structural Data Recording Set, Crash Survivable Flight Incident Recorder, FlightData Recorder, and Video Flight Recorder. It contains newest generation nonvolatile low-cost gigabyte flash memory in a redundant memory topology to ensure the highest level of data integrity. For memory packaging we use NASA-developed COTS Aerogelmaterial, with exceptional heat- and crash-survivability (3400 g). FAERITO will also record multiple channels of video compressed at up to 4000:1. Phase II will concentrate on developing ultra-low bandwidth video compression telemetry for cockpitrecording, and on the overall design of a crash survivable memory subsystem, including all necessary interfaces and system packaging.BENEFITS: FAERITO will increase the safety of military and commerci
