HIGH DATA RATE SOLID STATE DATA RECORDER

Current mechanical data storage devices will not be capable of handling the advanced sensor information required for testing sophisticated military equipment in the near future. Solid state recording is attractive to the military as it can provide the record rate and storage capacity required to capture high resolution imagery while offering increased reliability over traditional mechanical storage systems. EPS proposes to define the requirements of a digital recorder capable of meeting the military's advanced data acquisition needs. This will be researched and documented through extensive meetings with potential DARO users. These requirements will be contrasted against the different forms of solid state memory in order to determine the best possible design approach. EPS will then provide a design package detailing specifications of a recorder capable of meeting these needs.EPS is uniquely positioned to provide this research as we are the solid state data recorder experts. EPS has been aggressively expanding the capabilities of solid state data acquisition for over ten years. As a result of our Phase I research, the military will have a clear definition of their needs as well as a design package for a High Data Rate Solid State Recorder capable of meeting these requirements.
