ASHBURN, Va. – The Curtiss-Wright Corp. Defense Solutions Division in Ashburn, Va., is introducing the SSR/CHS/001 Ethernet multi-role data recorder for standalone data acquisition in helicopters, unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), and electric vertical takeoff and landing (eVTOL) aircraft.
This data recorder, optimized for small size, weight, and power consumption (SWaP) is for complementing a KAM-500 chassis for data logging and muxing. The enhanced compact chassis combines field-configurable data acquisition modules and CompactFlash based data recording. The rugged SSR/CHS/001 Ethernet multi-role recorder supports as many as four user-configurable KAM-500 data acquisition module slots.
The system for SWaP-constrained uses provides flight test engineers with the flexibility to leverage their existing library of KAM-500 plug-in modules to integrate a data acquisition system solution with built-in recording capability.

The SSR/CHS/001 supports removable industrial-grade CompactFlash cards that can be read by standard commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) readers to eliminate the need for dedicated software or docks.
The SSR/CHS/001 data recorder, which integrates Ethernet recording, audio encoding, and a GPS receiver, supports PTP v2 grandmaster and slave support, eliminating the need for a separate grandmaster subsystem. The system weighs 4.7 pounds fully configured.
