A compact, modular airborne data and recording system — called the D7000 — has recently been introduced by Heim Data Systems Inc., a subsidiary of Zodiac Data Systems Inc. of Alpharetta, Ga.
“With up to a 256 Mbit/s total system data rate, this recording system employs media contained in interchangeable cartridges, which allows the user to quickly choose and load either rugged hard drive or solid state media at any time during the life of the equipment,” according to a spokesman.
D7000 can be powered from ground support equipment — an option that permits flight power connectors to not be disturbed.
