Core Avionics Master Plan 2012 Appendix A-1FACE Version 2.0. (2014) FACE Version 2.0 will begin in FY12 and build uponprogress made in Version 1.0. The FACE Standard will be upgraded to Version 2.0 byfocusing on improvement of common data definitions, configuration services and healthmonitoring capabilities to facilitate maximum software reuse. The software will be usedto provide sample code/application development examples and to verify all interfacesand components included in FACE Version 2.0.FACE Version 2.0 will deliver laboratory ready Conformance Suites updated to Version2.0, as well as an upgraded and laboratory ready SDK and ITK. The other keydeliverables include a Contracting Guide and a Business Model, where a mutualGovernment and industry team assess the potential cost and benefit factors associatedwith FACE and develop scenarios and acquisition options that may arise from FACEimplementations. Current NAVAIR system efforts are focused on Joint PrecisionApproach and Landing System (JPALS) and Terrain Awareness and Warning Systems(TAWS), while the Army will focus on a FACE implementation for their Improved DataModem (IDM). PMA 209 personnel will continue to provide Government guidance andleadership. Current efforts to encourage Joint participation may lead to increasedparticipation by USAF and USA stakeholders. Future editions of the standard may berequired in the out years to address standardization requirements such as securitydriven by Platform implementations.Secure Network Server. (2018) The Secure Network Server (SNS) initiative woulddevelop a common aircraft network processing capability that allows multiple levels ofsecurity interaction, separated processing for hosting networking and other non-flightcritical applications, and connectivity through multiple networked radios/systems. Creates a hosting point for common applications. Enables hosting additional capabilities without going through the lengthy OFPmodification or testing cycle. Separates flight crew data and mission/passenger data exchanges by providingon-demand security partitioning among on-board users.The objective is to develop a core capability and common interface architecture socommercial standards and legacy aircraft interfaces can be supported within a NSAcertifiedsecure data partitioning environment. This project may also be considered as aFY-12 CORP project to identify the requirements, cost benefit analysis and potential forPOM-15 issue sheets. Currently MV-22, H-1, H-53 and F/A-18 are interested in apotential MLS enhanced SNS.C. Information Transfer and Storage. The Storage capability element coversequipment that provides on-board retention of aircraft performance data and missioninformation for post-flight mission debrief/analysis and maintenance.1. Current Capabilities. Limited Capacity Transfer & Storage.Personal Computer Memory Card Interface Adapter (PCMCIA) cards are currentlyused for upload, download and storage of data, but are becoming obsolete. The mostrecent specification is version 8.0, released in 2001. PCMCIA Cards fit into a PC duringthe mission planning function and record waypoints, maps, mission notes andfrequencies, and known enemy locations. The cards are then used to transferinformation via the Advanced Memory Unit (AMU) portion of the TAMMAC digital mapsystem to display the intended route of flight and planned mission tasks. The DigitalA-1 Information Management 8
Core Avionics Master Plan 2012 Appendix A-1Data Set (DDS), a component of the GPS hardware installed on more than 30 types ofU.S. Navy and Marine Corps aircraft, is another high-capacity, solid-state data storageand retrieval system consisting of a removable memory cartridge with embeddedPCMCIA cards and a cockpit-mounted aircraft receptacle. PCMCIA card memory sizehas increased from 2 megabytes to 2 gigabits in response to the demand for larger filestorage and upload/download capabilities. Other aircraft use the Mission Loader VerifierSystem (MLVS) to upload various avionics software upgrades. Other mass memorymedia technologies include ruggedized rotating disks, digital and analog tape systems,and solid-state devices. Mission sensor files and camera recordings are generally toolarge for solid-state digital recording. Current systems are also limited to holding onesecurity classification level of data at a time.2. Funded Enhancements and Potential Pursuits.Wireless Information Download (T-45, JSF). (2012) Wireless download of missiondata and maintenance diagnostic information will enable planners and ground crews toget an early start on maintenance issues and accelerate aircraft turnaround for followingmissions. T-45C is fielding an airborne recorder that will enable wireless download offour audio channels, two video channels, 1553 data bus information, engineperformance parameters and airframe structural analysis information. Typical missionand maintenance information for one flight ranges from 1.0 to 1.5 Gigabytes (Gb) ofdata. The system is designed to download two Gb of data in two seconds at a range upto 2000 feet. The system incorporates a MOSA design, and is planned for expansion toother training platforms, including T-44, TH-57 and T-6.Similarly, JSF Block II aircraft will be equipped with Prognostic Health Management(PHM) wireless down-link capability in support of mission sortie generation/readinessobjectives. Downloaded parameters will include fuel state, ammunition state,expendables state, and component conditions requiring maintenance in order tominimize turnaround time. For the JSF, wireless digital transmission will eliminate theneed for additional classified handling equipment, avoid potential loss of data fidelityduring manual transfer, and enable maintainers to monitor airframe parameters thatcould prevent mishaps.Increased data storage for Digital Video. (2013) UH-1Y and AH-1Z have selecteda COTS-based modern digital data loader solution to address current systemobsolescence issues and satisfy near term urgent requirements as an interim solutionuntil the next generation system is available. The primary driver for getting a systemahead of the next planned common upgrade is their need to manage higher fidelitydigital terrain geo-referencing data (Digital Terrain and Elevation Data - DTED Level II)in support of enhanced Terrain Awareness and Warning System (TAWS-II) terrain andobstacle avoidance during low level missions. Higher level detail (30 meter postingversus 100 meter posting) is required because rotary wing platforms operate closer tothe ground and standard algorithms cannot provide rapid enough predictive warnings.(More detail on TAWS provided in Safety appendix). The COTS product alsoincorporates significant digital memory storage that incorporates compression to mpeg4format and is capable of recording several missions’ worth of digital video. The systemcurrently is not planned to meet Data at Rest requirements, but does incorporate aminimum level of encryption and ability for rapid zeroization.A-1 Information Management 9
