Tailor-made system for digital image data acquisition
The mission system for digital image data acquisition was developed to regain German eligibility for the Treaty on Open Skies in accordance with the requirements set out by the OSCC. Our contribution covers the entire spectrum of system development, from requirements engineering through to design, hardware and software development as well as system integration and testing. Furthermore, since the beginning of 2023 it has also included complete in-service support of the mission system.
User functionality
- Four independent camera systems on gyro-stabilised platforms
- Integrated mission management system
- Camera can be controlled by software from via several operator workstations in the aircraft cabin
- Approval via EASA STC and delivery of components with EASA Form 1
Mobile data transformation system
The Mobile Data Transformation System (MDTS), which can be installed on the go, uses innovative technologies to provide a complete image processing chain.
In-flight imagery is processed from raw image files into the final Open Skies image product at over 1 GB per second.
The user controls the number of identical datasets by the number of target media used (a maximum of 4 are possible).
This ensures the necessary transparency and, thanks to the high-performance programming, downtimes when abroad are kept as short as possible and thus remain economical.
User functionality
- Modular system for data processing
- Can be installed in the air
- Operating systems and applications are installed on the data media of the mission system
- Management of image data obtained from the OH camera system and processed into OSDDEF image format
- Duplication of OSDDEF image data on data media
- Verification of data media contents with hash value calculation
Support and services
- Stand-alone system with minimal interfaces to the aircraft
- Maximum transparency for Open Skies missions
- EASA STC and delivery with EASA Form 1
- Additional services: information security concept, hazard assessment, training, rig construction and material supply
