This paper is intended to provide an AlliedSignal perspective of modern Crash Survivable Recording Systems for future applications in support of incident and accident investigations while minimizing impact on the aircraft. There is no doubt to the value obtained from airborne Crash Survivable Recorders. However, these recorders are installed purely as regulatory mandated systems to comply with minimum requirements. The recording systems for Voice and Data are dual, independent, limited by technology and involve increasing cost - both installation and maintenance. Additionally airworthiness directives for increased recording creates a high burden on the end user and quickly obseletes the existing recorder(s). This paper describes the technical advances in AlliedSignal CVR and FDR products (Cockpit Voice and Flight Data Recorders) from the days of the metal foil to Solid State memory technology, and provides a proposed new system solution for Crash Protected Recording that eliminates these constrictions. AlliedSignal's state of the art SSCVR and SSFDR provide the platform for recording Voice, Data, Video, Digital Datlink messages, Weather data, and Navigational Data via high-speed interfaces.
