Workstation, Shelters, Data Processing and Integration.
Airdyne furnishes workstations as empty modules ready for population or as turnkey systems. Several different form factors are available for the most demanding applications. For customers who need to integrate existing equipment, such as GFE, into Airdyne units the company provides liaison engineering to ensure a quicker delivery and the installation meets aerospace standards and documentation will meet USAF SPO requirements.
Airdyne can also populate workstations and shelters in a turnkey manner through the customer selecting one of many configuration options or mission systems. Airdyne performs the design and integration work to allow customers to focus on the capability and not how to mount it.
At the top level, software to control systems and manage data comes in seven basic types: sensor operating software, communications control software, operating system for processors/servers, datalink interface, core pod and SABIR strut control, custom GFE or specified software. Government customers may furnish GFE software that can be configured on required computer/server systems. Examples are specialized workstation software such as VOIP intercom systems or virtual workstation software.
Many sensors come with specific applications software that is turnkey in nature. Different sensors in a pod may have two or more types of interface software. Using a common server based application software, sensor control programs can be brought up in native formats, and data saved in common file standards for use in real time transmission through datalink communication systems. Single multi-function and/or multiple displays at workstation positions make software easy to use.
Some examples of sensor software output files are shown below:
