Quick Reaction Instrumentation Package (QRIP)
Abstract
The QRIP system is a government off-the-shelf solution from the 59th Test and Evaluation Squadron (59 TES) for F-35A high-capacity data recording needs. Designed for operational test and evaluation, the system can serve multiple emerging needs for data collection. By capturing crowd sourced flight data (CSFD) from operational aircraft, QRIP reduces the need for deliberate regression flight testing and allows the test enterprise to focus on Block 4 and future capability development. In FY23, the 59 TES will produce and install 20 QRIP data recording devices on as many F-35A aircraft and will produce/install approximately 20 QRIP devices annually thereafter. Also in FY23, the Knowledge Management (KM) system for CSFD ingest and storage will be procured and deployed at Nellis AFB, Hill AFB, and RAF Lakenheath. A team of eight contractors at each base are required to sustain QRIP associated hardware and software. In FY25, KM will be deployed at Tyndall AFB. Meanwhile, the 59 TES will continue studying means to increase the operational viability of CSFD.
