This document defines a quantified means of specifying a digital fiber optic link loss budget: - Between end users and system integrators - Between system integrators and subsystem suppliers - Between subsystem suppliers and component vendors The standard specifies methods and the margin required for categories of links.
This document covers the requirements for SAE implementations based on ISO 17987:2016. Requirements stated in this document will provide a minimum standard level of performance to which all compatible ECUs and media shall be designed. This will assure full serial data communication among all connected devices regardless of supplier.The goal of SAE J2602-1 is to improve the interoperability and interchangeability of LIN devices within a network by adding additional requirements that are not present in ISO 17987:2016 (e.g., fault tolerant operation, network topology, etc.).The intended audience includes, but is not limited to, ECU suppliers, LIN controller suppliers, LIN transceiver suppliers, component release engineers, and vehicle system engineers.The term “master” has been replaced by “commander” and term “slave” with “responder” in the following sections.
The work done in developing stretch broken carbon fiber technology is described. The objectives of the program include the scale up of the process to demonstrate production feasibility, as well as reducing the maximum filament stretch break length to ~50mm/2” or below, less than half of what was achieved on previous programs. The shorter break length is considered to be critical in order to achieve formability into complex geometries. The new stretch break line at Montana State University, BC3, has been commissioned to achieve the required material characteristics and throughput. To date, 6 tows have been successfully stretch broken simultaneously, representing a significant improvement compared with what was achieved on previous programs. Possible geometries and forming evaluation methods are described. Mechanical testing is to be conducted, including both equivalency testing of continuous vs stretch broken carbon fiber and a later minimal level allowables program. It is expected that
Execution of a Modular Open Systems Approach (MOSA) on government procurement programs is enacted into United States law (Ref. 1-2) and, if implemented properly, can enable more efficient accomplishment of business and technical objectives for an organization (Ref. 3-8). Open Systems are well defined (Ref. 9) and mature. Successful implementations of open standards have governance and conformance processes associated with them (Ref. 10-12). By using open system standards for integration of complex cyber-physical systems, like Future Airborne Capability Environment (FACETM) (Ref. 13) and Open Mission System (OMS) (Ref. 14), it is a straightforward exercise to determine if open system requirements of a MOSA are adequately addressed. However, adherence to these standards alone is insufficient to fully realize MOSA’s benefits (Ref. 10). This paper focuses solely on how to develop enterprise modularity as one part contributing to a comprehensive enterprise MOSA strategy.
Modern aircraft have an established need for a high-performance, open standards solution to interconnect increasing number of digital components including sensors, actuators, controllers, processors, displays and data concentrators. The aircraft can be envisioned as a distributed system requiring highly available, reliable, and deterministic communication network - often termed as digital backbone - for safe operation. This paper introduces a new zonal architecture for aerospace onboard networks using Time-Sensitive Networking (TSN). TSN is an open standard based deterministic Ethernet solution for mission and safety critical networks in aerospace industry that truly meets the Modular Open Standards Approach (MOSA) requirements. This paper also presents a reference implementation of the proposed digital backbone architecture using commercial-off-the-shelf hardware from multiple vendors. Experimental data from laboratory evaluation shows stability, performance, and reliability that
Transporting cargo has been a goal of helicopter operations since the earliest days of development. The concept of carrying passengers and cargo from and to remote locations without a runway was originally exploited by the US military in times of peace and war. Early helicopter designs were limited in fixed useful load after onboarding crew and fuel. The 1940's saw helicopters transporting small, lightweight packages on an as-needed basis. The decade of the 1960's started seeing heavy lift helicopters transporting specialty loads in construction and logistics supply, again on an as-needed basis. Today, several Part 135 helicopter operators offer as needed VTOL cargo services. Blade Air Mobility has developed a successful public company business model in Part 135 passenger transport and is also expanding in carrying parcels. With the advent of transformative VTOL air vehicle designs, there has been increasing emphasis on examining parcel delivery on a regular basis. As omni-channel
This paper documents the re-evaluation and updates to the previous Partial Regime Recognition Spectrum effort for the MH-47G using Structural Usage Monitoring System (SUMS). Further validation of the SUMS algorithm allowed for additions to the spectrum. These additions include more refined categorization of turn and partial power descent regimes based on angle of bank and descent rates, respectively; high load prorates for turns, partial power descents, level flight, and climbs based on the Cruise Guide Indicator; exceedances of maximum density altitude; and use of occurrences for Landing and Run-On Landing regimes. Additional years of flight data from 2013 to 2019 were included in this effort. The updated usage spectrum for the Army MH-47G aircraft has been delivered to the OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer). The OEM calculated new fatigue lives and updated the "Fatigue Substantiation Report", which will soon be fielded.
