PMA209 2012 Core Avionics Master Plan - NAVAIR - U.S. Navy

Core Avionics Master Plan 2012 Appendix A-1Higher capacity recording, Red/Black Separation with Data at Rest Encryption.(2016) As has been described, larger map and mission planning data file sizes aredriving requirements for higher capacity bulk memory and removable mass memory.Increased capacity is also required for higher fidelity digital terrain geo-referencing datain support of terrain and obstacle avoidance during low level missions or rotorcraftrecovery in degraded visual environments. Larger file sizes and increasing load timesare also driving a requirement for increased transfer device capacity and interfacespeed. Hardware obsolescence in the current AQS-215 DDS and TAMMAC AMUpresented an opportunity for development of a new common solution that leveragessignificant improvements in data transfer and memory technologies to increase memorycapacity, speed up data transfer, and enable automated separation of various types ofdata. Obsolete PCMCIA cards are being replaced in commercial practice by faster,more rugged interfaces and high speed bulk memory technologies such as PCExpressor USB drives. File server architectures are being reviewed to determine if they cansupport multi-purpose, distributed aircraft memory storage. PMA209 Mission Systems isdeveloping state-of-the-art data loaders, recorders and general purpose processorsunder the Advanced Digital Data Set (ADDS) program. ADDS will be designed as amodular hardware Family of Systems that enables platforms to achieve an entire set ofrequired capabilities or address only those elements that are deficient. The modules areexpected to support Red/Black data separation (partitioning), protection of data at rest,anti-tamper protection and Information Assurance requirements. This system will be thefirst system designed from the ground up to be FACE conformant. MH-60R/S and CH-53K are the lead aircraft.Column A B C D E FComponent DTU G-DTU DTU-P DTU-C DTU-CP CSR1 DTD slot X3 DTD slots X X X XProcessor X XCSR X X XOn boardSystemX X X X XPlatforms CH-53K All MH-60R,MH-60STBD TBD TBDMission planning involves loading and transfer of both classified and unclassifieddata. Similarly, sensor systems capture classified and unclassified data for post-missionanalysis. Maintenance diagnostics and Military Flight Operations Quality Assurance(MFOQA) also involve download of information captured by recorders during the flight.With increases in capacity and improvements in platform interface, it makes sense tocombine multiple functionalities into a single data loader for transport between thesquadron work-stations and the flight line.A-1 Information Management 10
