C-17 Test Data Archive Effort
Abstract
In fiscal year (FY) 2003, the Test Director initiated comprehensive planning for management of the C-17 data elements. Including the bulk instrumentation data collected, this plan also addressed the management of programmatic information and correlation from the test definition program phase through the archiving of test reporting Information. The envisioned end-state of the C-17 test data archive effort, also referred to as the C-17 Enterprise Test Data Management System (ETDMS), seeks to provide the C-17 Test Team with cradle-to-grave data management at a level unprecedented in the flight test community and is described herein. Five modest objectives were set for the effort at initiation; these were: Objective 1: Establish C-17 Technical Library; Complete Deployment of LiveLink Distribution System, Objective 2: Improve Data Analysis (Telemetry) Toolset and Products; Train Users, Objective 3: Modernize Legacy Databases/Applications (Measurands, Calibrations, Generation of the Test Parameter Requirements TPR document), Objective 4: Fix the Test Planning and Test Point Tracking User Interface, Objective 5: Implement the Approved ETDMS Framework. Collaterally, the C-17 ETDMS will support the efforts of our co-located NASA-Dryden colleagues seeking to improve the abilities of our National Airspace System (NAS) to support industry initiatives such as aircraft health monitoring and "call-ahead" maintenance planning.
