System for real-time data acquisition and processing on a hail-fighter aeroplane

The System HAILsens implements a device for Real-Time sensor data processing, running on a Texas Instruments Concerto M3 core. An I²C interface is used for sensor communications. Ethernet with UDP on a custom developed three layered frame organisation of sensor data serves as a link to the main system on board of an aeroplane. For backing up the acquired data, all frames are locally stored on an SD Card. To have the possibility of easily checking the current system status, an LCD module and a push-button provide a minimal user interface.
