ASHBURN, Va. – The Curtiss-Wright Corp. Defense Solutions Division in Ashburn, Va., is introducing the AXN/ICP/401/B/10V and AXN/ICP/402 Axon ICP data-acquisition modules for aircraft flight test and measurement.
These data-acquisition modules can help speed flight test by enabling the in-module analysis of high-sample-rate accelerometer measurements to understand and quantify airframe vibration frequencies.
Unprocessed raw accelerometer data requires large amounts of limited pulse code modulation (PCM) bandwidth and limits the quantity of vibration telemetry data that can be gathered.
The AXN/ICP/401/B/10V module (ADAU version: AICP-412A-1) supports 12 channels with a sampling speed of 25 kilosamples per second. The AXN/ICP/402 (ADAU version: AICP-404A-1) supports four channels at 100 kilosamples per second.

These modules can perform a fast Fourier transform (FFT) on all of their channels, with the resulting data and original sampled data available as output parameters.
The Axon ICP modules and their air data acquisition unit (ADAU) equivalents also provide support for transducer electronic data sheet (TEDS).
The Axon product family advanced airborne data acquisition system offers low size, weight, and power consumption (SWaP). It uses a high-speed serial backplane to support future high data rates.
