Date: September, 15th

About the event:

After successful editions in Dallas, Los Angeles, and Tokyo, Paris, Marseille, Safran Data Systems, Inc. is pleased to announce the upcoming Testing & Training Motion (TiM), the event for training sessions, hands-on sessions and networking about flight testing (airborne & ground segments) and launch vehicle telemetry. By joining us, we will earn Continuing Education Credits (CEU).

The event is free.

Agenda: 

Training & Hands-On Sessions:

Training Sessions:

• IRIG 106 Chapter 7: Packet Telemetry Downlink-Understanding the Standard

During this introduction to the IRIG 106 Chapter 7-17 Packet Telemetry Downlink Standard, discover how to create Chapter 7 Encapsulation Packets and Packet Transport Stream. In addition, it will address the components that make up an end-to-end implementation of a Chapter 7 Packet Telemetry Downlink.

• Sensors and transducers for FTI, what are the trends ? Introduction to the most familiar sensors for FTI.

Get an overview of basics calibration constraints, pre-flight check-up requirement and different ways to do it. Learn about the various Fiber Sensing technologies with a focus on Fiber Bragg Grating (FBG). See how it can favorably replace legacy temperature, strain or pressure sensors, but also how you can combine heterogeneous sensors together.

• On-Board Processing: How and why processing is now mandatory in your FTI?

From saving bandwidth to calculation result in real-time, processing as near as possible of the measure brings  a new level to your FTI. Interconnected devices, Ethernet synchronized network, powerful embedded chip allows the possibility to begin the data analysis way before its transmission to the ground. Thus it speeds up the test campaign and enhances the safety of the pilote plus his test vehicule.

• Range of the Future, how the range architecture is evolving

DoD test ranges, flight test centers and space ports are facing emerging challenges such as the higher rate of flights / launches, increase of downlinked Telemetry or the testing of platforms going further and faster. The concept of Range of the Future encompasses the evolutions required at the range and its architecture to supports those new requirements. This training will first provide an overview of the current Telemetry range architecture, and then touch on the various solutions, either already available or under development like Active Electronically Scanned Array (AESA) antennas, Space based Telemetry, Ultra-wideband RF recording, Multi-channel processing, Telemetry over IP (TMoIP), netword recorder, Best Source Selection and Virtualization.

Hands-On Sessions:

• How to get rid of wires for your FTI?

Let’s demonstrate a way to replace wires for power supply, data transfer and synchronization of your FTI system. What are the impact on performances in comparison to a wired system?

• Fiber Bragg Grating (FBG)

Come and see a live demonstration of a highly compact modular FBG interrogator integrated into an XMA stack mixing together legacy and Fiber Sensing measurements.

• Distributed Instrumentation Systems, leveraging new technology in your system architecture

Introduction to our distributed system capabilities including DAUs, recorders, switches and software. Get an overview of how this technology can simplify your installations data management, and improve setup times.

• Cybersecurity features on the MDR-GTS

Discover our latest cybersecurity features including encryption capabilities, key management, and Data-At-Rest.

• CMA – the All-in-one-Box for Missile and Space Launchers

Through the examples of video acquisition, bufferization, format change and telemetry, CMA demonstrates some of the capabilities necessary for a missile and launcher equipment. All in a compact, powerful  and versatile DAU.

• OBP module – Multilateration processing

OBP module, the answer to On-Board Processing ‘s challenge. Synchronization and processing latency are two prerequisites for FTI on-board processing, here through the example of multilateration calculation, we will demonstrate the OBP capacity to process data from several data acquisition unit. The multilateration is the capacity to locate a source of emission thanks to wave’s time-of-arrival from at least three well-synchronized receivers (trilateration) and location equation resolution.

• The RSR-RF-200, the Ultra-Wideband recorder that captures and reproduces your entire RF Telemetry spectrum

The demonstration focuses on the RSR-RF 200, the latest ch10 compliant ground telemetry recorder from Safran capable of recording and reproducing two channels with up to 200MHz of continuous bandwidth in L, S and C-band TM spectrum. Several live demos will illustrate the aggregated 400MHz bandwidth during recording and also reproducing, the extended dynamic range (100dB) similar to the front end performance of a TM receiver and the capability to support C-band spectrum in addition to L & S-band. Finally, the paper will touch on how the ch10 recording standard has been updated to take into account IF/RF recording and make sure interoperability is preserved across vendors.

• Best Source Selector to improve the Telemetry reception in Realtime

A range typically has multiple Telemetry receiving stations located throughout the range in order to cover a wide area and also to provide different look angle to the test article. Those multiple simultaneous Telemetry sources need to be processed in REAL-TIME at the range data facility to continuously and seamlessly select the best source to feed the Telemetry room. This hands-on session will highlight the Best Source Selector (BSS) solution developed by Safran, able to accept multiple input streams in various formats, i.e. analog baseband, PCM data/clock and TMoIP packets (IRIG-106 ch10 or IRIG 218-20). It will also show the time alignment to compensate for the different latencies among those sources and the different criteria available to perform the source selection : Frame Synchronizer, Majority vote and Data Quality Metric : DQE/DQM.
