INTERACTIVE ANALYSIS AND DISPLAY SYSTEM (IADS) TO SUPPORT LOADS/FLUTTER TESTING

International Telemetering Conference Proceedings / October 28-31, 1996 / Town and Country Hotel and Convention Center, San Diego, California / The Interactive Analysis and Display System (IADS) provides the structures flight test
engineer with enhanced test-data processing, management, and display capabilities
necessary to perform safety critical aircraft analysis in near real time during a flight test
mission. Germane to hazardous, fast-paced flight test programs is a need for enhanced
situational awareness in the Mission Control Room (MCR). The IADS provides an
enhanced situational awareness by providing an analysis and display capability designed to
enhance the confidence of the engineer in making clearance decisions within the MCR
environment. The IADS will allow the engineer to achieve this confidence level by
providing a real-time display capability along with a simultaneous near real-time
processing capability consisting of both time domain and frequency domain analyses. The
system provides for displaying real-time data while performing interactive and automated
near real-time analyses. The system also alerts the engineer when displayed and non-displayed
parameters exceed predefined threshold limits. Both real-time data and results
created in near real-time may be compared to predicted data on workstations to enhance
the user’s confidence in making point-to-point clearance decisions. The IADS also
provides a post-flight capability at the engineers project area desktop. Having a user
interface that is common with the real-time system, the post-flight IADS provides all of the
capabilities of the real-time IADS plus additional data storage and data organization to
allow the engineer to perform structural analysis with test data from the complete test
program. This paper discusses the system overview and capabilities of the IADS.
