LAMPS: A Case History of Problems/Design Objectives for an Airborne Data Handling Subsystem.

Abstract

The paper is presented to clarify and broaden understanding of the problems relating to computer-based real-time systems. A current U.S. Navy Avionics Data Handling Subsystem aboard a destroyer-based helicopter, will be reviewed as it progressed from the concept evaluation and flight test phases of an engineering test bed, to the present engineering prototype. An analysis of the test bed's positive and negative data handling features are discussed with respect to their influence on the follow-on design. The prevailing philosophies and constraints surrounding such a development impacts the design alternatives while a balancing of hardware/software parameters assists in optimizing system performance.
