Advanced Pc-Based Telemetry Prcessing and Display System

This document is a Phase I SBIR technical and cost proposal submitted to the US Air Force by GDP Space Systems, a division of Delta Information Systems, Inc., in response to SBIR Solicitation Topic Number AF98-275. The purpose of this proposed program is to investigate appropriate technologies and define the hardware and software requirements for a state-of-the-art PC-based Advanced Telemetry Processing and Display System (ATPDS). This system will be flexible and expandable with low acquistion and life-cycle support costs. A series of defined tasks will be completed to identify and analyze system requirements, review alternative approaches and various potential system architectures, and develop a conceptual design of a PC-based Advanced Telemetry Processing and Display System. System hardware and software functions will be partitioned, and applicable commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) technologies considered for their applicability. Design trade-offs will be performed and presented along with the capabilities and any limitations of the recommended system architecture. The program will include the development of a validation test plan for the proposed system to be used in Phase II as the basis for a validation and qualification of the ATPD system.
