Abstract
Turkish Aerospace develops a wide range of indigenous platforms across fixed-wing(HURKUS, HURJET, KAAN), rotary-wing (T-625 GOKBEY,T-129 ATAK), and unmanned aerial vehicle (ANKA,AKSUNGUR) categories. The speed of operations during test and data analysis activities of indigenously developed aircraft constitutes a critical factor in overall program success. System-level and software-based enhancements that shorten the time span between the conceptual design phase and entry into service make substantial benefit to the efficiency and effectiveness of the product development lifecycle. During the flight test phase of these platforms, data packets which transmitted from the aircraft to Flight Test Management Centers via Telemetry Systems are visualized and analyzed in real-time by using Real-Time Data Monitoring software. In the post-test data analysis phase, processed data sets are shared by telemetry responsible engineers with the relevant design teams to support detailed data analysis activities. Through the implementation of a Real-Time Telemetry Data Transfer Platform, the data delivering process — previously conducted using legacy methods and requiring 2 hours — has been reduced to a matter of minutes. The core architectural principle of the software is based on extracting data packets not after the completion of flight activities, but from the onset of operations which are categorized according to specific test points and data set groups. Following engine shutdown, the relevant data sets are delivered to the responsible design teams within five minutes for analysis. The shared data packages include not only time-based parameter data, but also synchronized tower and aircraft tail camera video recordings and screen captures of real-time data monitoring software screens that contain various analytical indicators and visualization tools. By accelerating the data distribution workflow, the developed software is expected to make a benefit to project schedules and overall flight test programs execution efficiency.
