CCX Technologies SystemX Operating System is capable of ingesting flight data from a wide range of sources, including any avionics data bus, from any network interfaces, and from any equipment that supports SNMP, Syslog, or an HTTP based API.
This collected data provides complete data sources for Flight Operations Quality Assurance (FOQA) and Flight Data Monitoring (FDM) programs. Additionally it can be integrated into existing data collection systems to support predictive maintenance programs.
Data Monitoring and Offloading
Data is stored in encrypted, signed databases on SystemX hardware. Data offloading can occur during flight via SATCOM, or on the ground using integrated LTE and WiFi radios, as well as other available aircraft connectivity options, including wired connections to a secure maintenance laptop.
Individual data samples can be prioritized based on source and contents so that critical data can be streamed from the aircraft in real-time over any available SATCOM/ATG interface, complete flight data can be offloaded on the ground over a higher-bandwidth terrestrial wireless network and archived data can be stored onboard the aircraft and accessed at a later date to assist with incident investigations.
SystemX supports the creation of custom rules and algorithms to monitor specific flight conditions. For example, events such as a high rate of descent or deviation below the glideslope can be automatically detected and flagged in real-time or during post-flight processing. These alerts can be sent to an operations center for immediate attention.
Data collected by SystemX can be accessed on a SystemX Ground Server and can be extracted for use in any other offline tool. In addition, CCX Technologies can provide assistance in customizing data formats for specific applications.
Supported Platforms
Avionics data bus data can be collected with the CCX Technologies DataPHY Data Recorders. Some of our Secure Router platforms also support ARINC-429 and AFDX data collection. It is also possible to pull data into SystemX from other third-party data collections sources, like existing FOQA or data monitoring systems.
Alert data can be transmitted to a SystemX server, either in real-time over an SATCOM connectivity solution, post-flight using a 5G or WiFi radio, or during a maintenance activity using a secure laptop.
