AN ETHERNET BASED AIRBORNE DATA ACQUISITION SYSTEM

International Telemetering Conference Proceedings / October 20-23, 2003 / Riviera Hotel and Convention Center, Las Vegas, Nevada / There is growing interest in the airborne instrumentation community to adopt commercial standards
to obtain scalable data rates, standards based interoperability, and utilization of Commercial Off The
Shelf (COTS) products to reduce system costs. However, there has been few such data acquisition
systems developed to date. L-3 Telemetry East has developed a prototype called the Network Data
Acquisition System (NetDAS), which is based on the 10/100 Base-T Ethernet standard,
TCP/UDP/IP network protocols and an industrial Ethernet switch. NetDAS has added network
capability to the legacy MPC-800 telemetry system by replacing the existing formatter module with
a formatter/controller based on a COTS CPU module and a custom designed bridge module.
NetDAS has demonstrated transmission bit rates as high as 20 Mbps from a single unit using
UDP/IP and an Ethernet switch. The NetDAS system has also demonstrated scalable and distributed
architecture.
