Digital Instrumentation of F-106 Aircraft

Abstract

This final report describes computer hardware and software provided by the Air Force Avionics Laboratory (AFAL) in support of the AFAL Comparative Gunsight Study. Two hardware interfaces and one special purpose fire-control- system computer program permitted transmission of digital data from the HCM-204 computer in F-106 aircraft to other on-board recording and computing systems. The all-digital instrumentation provided permanent record of the inputs and outputs of operating system software being tested. This system eliminates conversion and scaling errors generated in analog instrumentation.
