Ashburn, Virginia – Curtiss-Wright’s Defense Solutions division has introduced the FSM-C2X Download Station for rapidly and simultaneously downloading high-density intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (ISR) data to ground station PCs for post-mission analysis. The FSM-C2X Download Station uniquely enables users to rapidly transfer up to 8TB of data via standard USB connections.
As sensors proliferate onboard platforms such as manned and unmanned rotorcraft & fixed wing aircraft, and the quantity of data being captured for post-mission analysis grows exponentially, users are faced with the challenge of capturing the recorded data as quickly as possible so that the platform can begin its next mission as soon as possible. Designed for use with Curtiss-Wright’s Compact Network Storage 4-slot (CNS4) Data Recorder, the FSM-C2X Download Station supports up to four of the CNS4’s rugged, removable FSM-C2X flash storage modules, each of which serves as a 2 TB solid state disk (SSD).
The FMS-C2X modules can be removed in seconds from the CNS4 data recorder through the use of tool-less wedge-locks. The FSM-C2X Download Station is for ISR applications such as multi-sensor data recording, unmanned vehicle recording, and situational awareness.
