Ethernet Data Recorder (EDR)

The Ethernet Data Recorder (EDR) is a compact rugged Ethernet Data Recorder, as well as a Data Transfer System (DTS) and Network Storage Unit (NSU). The EDR is designed for use as either a panel mount or “hot plate” mount unit, on Airborne or Ground Vehicles. Capable of recording critical mission Ethernet and data for long periods of time, the EDR provides a very reliable source of multi-channel Ethernet and data recording and transfer. When operating as a DTS the unit is controlled over either the Ethernet 10/100/1000/BT, 10G Fiber, RS-422 or Mil-Std-1553 channels. The Data channels may be configured as per IRIG-106 PCM I/O.

The use of a rugged removable U2 SSD as the recording media provides a low power, light weight solution for applications requiring low-cost reliable data storage. Debriefing recorded data is accomplished by either physically removing the SSD from the recorder and inserting them into a PC based Debriefing Station, or by downloading the recorded data over the Ethernet channel. Debriefing software is provided using the Integrated Debriefing Environment (IDE). The IDE software package provides synchronized video and data on the same PC screen. Alternatively, recorded video and data can be viewed on separate screen.
