Advantages of NI Approach for MIL-Aero • Higher Performance • Faster Time to Market • Modular Platforms Reduced test equipment size by over 50% - U.S. Airforce • COTS Hardware • Lower Cost Reduced test equipment cost by 66% - Australian Military • Improved Quality Reduces the time it takes to move people through airport security checkpoints by 50% - Milestone Technology
F-35 Wind Tunnel Testing with PXI • Customer: Lockheed Martin, G Systems – Joint Strike Fighter (JSF) • Application: Replace proprietary VME-based system with a system that acquires, analyzes, and stores dynamic pressure data from a next-generation jet fighter engine design. • Reason for choosing PXI: PXI product breadth, functionality • Products used: • PXI-18-slot chassis, MXI Remote Controller • PXI Dynamic Signal Acquisition • PXI-Slot 2 Controller (multiple chassis synchronization) • VMIC Reflective Memory card (Third Party) • LabVIEW Real-time • PXI Switch Controller
MATRIXx Successes: P3-C Flight Control • Lear Astronics Corp. (BAE Systems) • Universal Vehicle Control System (UVCS) for USN Orion P3-C Aircraft • Modeling, Simulation, & Code Code Generation for UVCS, Configurable for Different Manned Aircraft Types • 9,000 Lines of Code • 50%: All Flight Control and Monitoring Generated by AutoCode • 42%: Re-used I/O and Executive Functions • 8%: Handwritten “Glue” Code • During Development, Software Problem Report Turn Around was Reduced to One Day
In Flight Testing on RAAF Black Hawk Helicopter Rack-mount PXI System • Need to acquire, process, and display 80 distinct parameters in Real Time • Breadth and Functionality for single system • Serviceability – components need to be easily installed and removed from system
Real-Time Sensor Measurements for Aerospace Testing The Challenge: Providing a cost-effective large-scale, high-speed data collection solution for complex data sets including acoustic, strain, pressure, vibration, temperature, and heat flux inputs with "near real-time" remote viewing and data reduction. The Solution: Using National Instruments LabVIEW, PXI, and SCXI technologies to achieve a tightly coupled, large-scale system that is both expandable and compact.
Concluding remarks • We are here for to serve our partners as a flexible extension of their R&D, Prototyping and Testing Department, wearing their T-Shirt during the hard days of the innovation process • We are here for to solve problems, get fairly compensated and sharing the success, we have put the effort in
