Drowning in Data, Starving for Knowledge — A White Paper on Securing Meaningful Access to the Information Stored in Our Vast Data Warehouses
ABSTRACT The quantity Test and Evaluation (T&E) data has grown in step with the increase in computing power and digital storage. T&E data management and exploitation technologies have not kept pace with this exponential growth. New approaches to the challenges posed by this data explosion must provide for continued growth while offering seamless integration with the existing body of work. Object Oriented Data Management (OODM) provides the framework to handle the continued rapid growth in computer speed and the amount of data gathered and legacy integration. The OMEGA Data Environment (ODE) is one of the first commercially available examples of this emerging class of OODM applications.
Tracing the Evolution and Solutions to Finding the Best Data. It Isn’t the Best Source You Want, but the Best Data You Need
ABSTRACT In today’s wide ranging and long duration test environments, aircraft typically traverse many different geographical areas. The RF coverage of each area is the responsibility of any number of managerial departments and/or architectural approaches and capabilities. Yesterday’s environment allowed postmission processing to bring data sets together under one file set, but today’s resources and mission demands require a real-time solution because there is just no time to postprocess. The need is NOW!
Using Telemetry Front-end Equipment and Network Attached Storage Connected to Form a Real-time Data Recording and Playback System
ABSTRACT The use of traditional telemetry decommutation equipment can be easily expanded to create a real-time pulse code modulation (PCM) telemetry data recorder. However, there are two areas that create unique demands where architectural investment is required: the PCM output stage and the storage stage. This paper details the efforts to define the requirements and limits of a traditional telemetry system when used as a real-time, multistream PCM data recorder with time tagging.
