INTRODUCTION

This PWS describes requirements to provide the products, enhancement/upgrade, repair services, and field service, and technical support of the High Speed Data Acquisition System (HSDAS) equipment on all operational test programs at Nellis AFB and other multi-service agencies.

1.0 BACKGROUND

The HSDAS units and components are critical elements of Flight Test Instrumentation systems that are installed in test aircraft and are used to support test missions performed at Nellis AFB and other DOD installations. These units are modular and will be configured and are integrated to form unique HSDAS implementations that meet specific projects’ requirements.

The configured systems provide signal conditioning, data acquisition, multiplexing, recording, and RF telemetry functionality primarily used for flight and ground test. These devices primarily validate the test aircraft systems under test to ensure that they meet design criteria, support planned weapon systems operations, and more importantly flight and test safety. Each project’s measurement requirements must be analyzed to determine the appropriate sensor type, required accuracy, and environment under which it must operate. The analysis extends from the sensor and sensor installation, the wiring and connection to the HSDAS and carried through to the transmission, recording, recovery, and processing of the original data.

2.0 SCOPE OF WORK
