DATA CENTRIC PROCESSING AND RECORDING The D3 FIR is the next generation in intelligent processing and recording. The D3 FIR collects data from various aircraft buses and other interfaces and processes the data into information and knowledge for recording. The D3 FIR provides a user programmable “Rules” engine for the intelligent collection, management, processing, and recording of data. Using an English-like language, the user can select the data from among redundant sources, process, fuse, and record information, and infer knowledge. MUCH MORE THAN A RECORDER With Data Centric acquisition and recording capabilities, the D3 FIR acquires audio, video (option), analog (option), data bus (MIL-STD-1553 with FireWire and Fibre Channel options). Access to this data allows the D3 FIR to be used as an information and knowledge repository. MSI’s C-Rules engine, hosted on the D3 FIR, provides real-time data acquisition, real timely information extraction, and mission time knowledge fusion and inferencing. The C-Rules engine incorporates MSI’s advanced artificial intelligence real time processing algorithms. This obviates the necessity of post flight processing with answers coming after the problem has manifested itself. With the D3 FIR processing the data in mission time, the answer is available, before landing, for effective maintenance or other corrective action. Data off-load now provides multi-platform learning and optimization across squadron, wing, or fleet. D3 FIR REAL-TIMELY INTELLIGENCE The D3 FIR provides three reference frames for processing: real-time, real-timely, and mission time. Real-time processing allows predictive data acquisition and collection and provides for the management of this data. Real-timely processing provides data fusion to information and inferring of non-observable states. Mission time processing allows for higher level knowledge fusion, inferencing and learning. Generally speaking, real-timely is within one or two seconds, while mission time is a continual process providing the best available estimate at any time but a useful answer by the time it is needed.
