L-3 Telemetry-East (L-3 TE) is adding a compact, lightweight and high-capacity data storage capability to its popular NetDAS and AirDAS product lines. The new Data Storage Module (DSM) can be employed either as a miniature stand-alone recorder, or as a simple add-on to a fully functional Data Acquisition Unit (DAU) or Data Acquisition System (DAS). The new DSM utilizes rugged off-the-shelf,1.8-inch, Solid State Drive (SSD), removable storage media, providing up to 256 Gigabytes of storage capacity per module. Multiple SSDs may be used within a single system, further expanding capacity up to 1 Terabyte and delivering very low cost-per-Gigabyte. The new module may be used with L-3 TE’s full suite of NetDAS/AirDAS data acquisition modules, including A429, A664, MIL-STD-1553, Video/Audio Compression, and various analog modules, to create a fully integrated data acquisition and recording system. The new DSM also allows data to be stored and retrieved over a standard 10/100/1000 Ethernet bus. A NetDAS-based version of the device has been selected by the U.S. Government’s integrated Network Enhanced Telemetry (iNET) program as a “Latency/Throughput Critical Recorder” (LTC Recorder), which will communicate and interact on a network as prescribed in the emergent iNET standards. Deliveries begin mid-2011.
