This paper describes the more innovative features of the Lockheed Airborne Date System (LADS), and provides some insight into the high performance and cost effectiveness realizable by use of multiple processors in real-time data systems. LADS uses multiprocessors in a highly distributed configuration to control, verify, process, analyze and display data in real-time on board the test aircraft. The approach is to use remotely located signal-conditioner/multiplexer modules controlles in groups by distributed microcomputers which pre-process all incoming data. These microcomputers are synchronously controlled by a central data station which provides digital, analog, video and graphics displays of calibrated (engineering units) data in real-time to on-board test personnel. The airborne system includes an integral analysis computer station with graphics and hard-copy for real-time analysis.
