Interoperability Standards for Network Based Airborne Video Systems

摘要

The deployment of network-based airborne instrumentation is leading to cost efficient replacement of legacy systems. One application of airborne instrumentation systems that has to this point been developed and maintained separately from traditional avionics and orange-wire data acquisition systems is video and imagery. The development of network-based video and imagery systems has led to an opportunity to unify these two previously distinct airborne data acquisition activities using standards for plug-n-play interoperability across airframes and organizations. This paper describes standards based network-based video and imagery instrumentation systems which, are being implemented to replace existing proprietary systems.
