Systems And Methods For Wireless Monitoring And Control Of Countermeasure Dispenser Testing Systems

摘要

Systems and methods are provided for testing aircraft countermeasure dispenser systems (CMDS) by wirelessly monitoring and controlling wireless countermeasure dispenser testing system units (WCDTs). The disclosed systems and methods may be implemented in one example to allow functions of multiple WCDT units to be simultaneously monitored and controlled in real time via a wireless connection or wireless network connection such as wireless local area network (WLAN) or other short or long range wireless network.

主权项

1. A system for wireless testing of a countermeasure dispenser system (CMDS), comprising:
at least one wireless countermeasure dispenser testing (WCDT) system comprising wireless communication circuitry and being configured to be received in a munitions cavity of a countermeasure dispenser of the CMDS to at least one of gather diagnostic data regarding operation of the countermeasure dispenser and wirelessly transmit the gathered diagnostic data, test one or more operating features of the countermeasure dispenser, or a combination thereof; and at least one wireless user interface (WUI) system having wireless communication circuitry, the WUI system being configured to at least one of:
transmit wireless test control signals to control operation of the WCDT system to test one or more operating features of the countermeasure dispenser,receive wireless-transmitted gathered diagnostic data from the WCDT system and at least one of display, store or wirelessly retransmit information that is based on the gathered diagnostic data, ora combination thereof.
