CONSOLE REQUIREMENTS

1.0 Executive Overview

The Real-time Telemetry Processing System (RTPS) is used at the Naval Air Warfare Center Aircraft Division at Patuxent River, MD to monitor test flights of DoD aircraft and aircraft systems. RTPS is developed, operated and maintained by the Telemetry Systems Branch (5.2.4.3) which is located at the Atlantic Test Range, Bldg 2118. The primary use of the system is to provide real-time monitoring of test flights to ensure crew safety. Additionally, the use of RTPS for real-time test flight monitoring ensures that test points are achieved increasing test efficiency.

The current system (RTPS IV) has been in service since 2002. There are currently nine data monitoring rooms, called Project Engineer Stations (PES), at Bldg 2118 and one at the Presidential Helicopter Hangar (Bldg 2805).

The Telemetry Systems Branch also has several mobile systems that are based on the RTPS System architecture. One system is installed in a tractor-trailer, one is installed in a mobile van and three are transported in shipping containers and used at remote site locations such as aircraft carriers and other DoD bases around the world.

2.0 Document Scope

The scope of this document includes all of the functional, physical and electrical requirements for the PES Room consoles.

3.0 Assumptions

The term ‘workstation area’ used within this document describes the console space required to house all the equipment needed for one person including PC, LCD monitors, monitor arms, keyboard, mouse, video conversion equipment, audio control panel and headset extender boxes.

The term ‘workstation operator’ used within this document describes the Test Team member sitting at the consoles during real-time Flight Testing.

The term ‘equipment enclosure’ used within this document describes the enclosed area below the console desktop used to house workstation operator equipment.

Several different console configurations are required for this upgrade effort (e.g. two, three, four, seven and eight-person consoles). Tables 1 and 2 describe the equipment that the consoles will be required to house for each workstation operator in the different console configurations. The equipment described in Tables 1 and 2 will be procured under a separate contract.

Table 1 – Equipment List for Two, Three and Four-Person Configurations

Enclosure Note1

KVM Extender

Note 1: For the two-person console, one DCU, SDAP and Headset Extender Box are required. For the three and four-person consoles, two DCU, SDAP and Headset Extender Boxes are required. The DCU and SDAP are separate items that can be mounted separately or combined into one physical device. The intent is to mount these units separately. See Appendix A for sizing details.

Note 2: The KVM extender is used for an overflow PC that is installed in an equipment rack in the back of the PES Room. Space for one KVM receive module is required in each of the three and four-person consoles.

Note 3: For the two and three-person consoles, one UPS unit is required. For the four-person consoles, two UPS units are required.

Enclosure Note 4

KVM Extender

Note 4: For the seven and eight-person consoles, four DCU, SDAP and Headset Extender Boxes are required. The DCU and SDAP are separate items that can be mounted separately or combined into one physical device. The intent is to mount these units separately. See Appendix A for sizing details.

Note 5: The KVM extender is used for an overflow PC that is installed in an equipment rack in the back of the PES Room. Space for two KVM receive modules is required in each of the seven and eight-person consoles.
