Digital Signal Transfer Unit Multisensor Display System

Abstract

This report describes the development and testing of a Digital Signal Transfer Unit Multisensor Display System (DSTUMDS) for the F-4E aircraft. The objective of the program was to develop a new avionics display system that offers non-degraded performance, an improved operator-system interface, growth capability, and improved reliability. In addition, the equipment was designed and developed as a direct replacement for the analog Multisensor Display Group (MSDG) presently found in production F-4E aircraft, with no requirement for aircraft modifications or wiring changes. The DSTUMDS provides non-degraded display presentations of both low refresh rate radar data and high refresh rate electro-optical sensor information on the same display monitor. The electro- optical sensor information is displayed directly on the short persistence phosphor cathode ray tube without being processed. Digital processing techniques and random access memory technology are used to convert the radar data input rate to a suitable display output rate.
