Modular Aircraft Support System (MASS) Aerospace Ground Equipment (AGE) Data Acquisition Final Report
Abstract
Work performed on the Modular Aircraft Support System (MASS) program established a testbed for investigation of automated performance data collection/processing and dissemination of resulting information in formats relevant to logistics community users. In the first part, an MEP-804A 15kW generator set was selected as the testbed. Instrumentation for the generator set was determined by analysis of parameter monitoring requirements and then implemented using existing sensors and simplified installation of new COTS sensors, data acquisition unit, and radio modem. Radio link transmission, to a remote host computer, of captured performance parameter data was demonstrated successfully at AFRL. In the second part, a web-based server was developed to perform some preliminary analysis on the data from the generator and to broadcast that data wirelessly to remote clients. The Palm computing platform was selected with a wireless modem for the remote client. Contained herein are descriptions of the instrumentation requirements analysis, system hardware/software specifications, equipment installation, tests, and demonstrations which were conducted.
