LOW COST PHOTOCONDUCTOR FOR DIGITAL XRAY IMAGING

Not Available The proposed effort will result in a data formatter that will have the capability to significantly improve the bit rate efficiencies of Pulse Code Modulated data telemetered form test vehicles. The key features of the formatter required to accomplish this are: 1) the ability to generate bit rates that closely match data requirements 2) the ability to support formats created by software algorithms such as those under development by the Air Force Flight Test Center at Edwards AFB, California. The Phase I effort will concentrate on defining performance requirements for a data formatter, as well as its conceptual design. The performance requirements will be derived from trade studies, conducted jointly with the customer, involving technical feasibility and risk versus potential benefits and practical limitations. This will insure the result represents the right balance between compatibility with existing infrastructure and standards and growth features needed to support new data acquisition architectures and evolving infrastructure and standards. Killdeer Mountain Manufacturing will direct the Phase I effort using the Boeing Company as a consultant. The two companies possess the unique and diverse experience, knowledge, skills and resources to solve Phase I problems and produce the hardware implementations needed for Phase II and III.
