Abstract

Historically magnetic tape recorders have been used to record wideband sensor data in reconnaissance applications. Spurred by the declining cost of non-volatile Flash memory, a number of solid state recorders (SSR) are now being marketed for airborne reconnaissance applications. These first generation SSRs have been designed to directly replace magnetic tape recorders with compatible interfaces, control protocols and with an approach for transporting recorded mission data from the aircraft to the processing center via removable storage media. This product introduction approach will minimize the impact to existing reconnaissance systems while allowing SSRs to validate claims of improved size, power, weight, reliability and environmental endurance. However, enabling the full set of mission enhancing capabilities which SSRs can provide will require reconnaissance systems to update their interfaces and control protocols. This paper explores architecture and interface trades for second generation SSRs with an eye toward on-going SSR standardization efforts. It also compares two popular error management approaches with regard to how they may perform in reconnaissance applications.
