Smart Radio Control System (For Flight Test Centers)

ITC/USA 2015 Conference Proceedings / The Fifty-First Annual International Telemetering Conference and Technical Exhibition / October 26-29, 2015 / Bally's Hotel & Convention Center, Las Vegas, NV / Among the rich infrastructure of a Telemetry/Ground Station Center dwells the subset dedicated to radio communications. Radios are mainly used to communicate with the aircraft under test in order to give guidance and feedback from ground specialists. Sometimes, however, radios themselves become the subject of the test, requiring a full set of them with all their features and capabilities (Military Modes, HF ALE, SELCAL, etc). Remote control (and audio routing) of these radios is a critical as infrastructures scale over tens of radios, distributed amid different test centers separated by hundreds of kilometers. Addition of a remote touch user interface, MIL COMSEC and TRANSEC modes, automatic audio routing, together with a maintenance free requirement, makes the whole issue far more difficult to manage. Airbus Defense & Space has developed a Smart Radio Control System allowing to profit from those advantages and more benefits: *Intuitive Touch UI *Automatic Audio Routing *Distributed infrastructure (network based) *Autonomous and service free (no one, other than FTC needed to operate it) *Heterogeneous (any radio can be controlled by creating a plug & play library) *Special Modes support (COMSEC, TRANSEC, HF ALE, and SELCAL) Future additions will include, amongst others, VoIP integration and tablet use.
