Background: The Instrumentation, Loading, Integration, Analysis and Decommutation (ILIAD) design allows different agencies to contribute and share information relevant to the design, maintenance, and support of telemetry systems. The ILIAD system encompasses two (2) subcomponents and two (2) data management systems, which require support. Subcomponents include: The Quick Look System (QLS) and mViSiion; Data Management Systems include: Odyssey and Enterprise Test data Management System (ETDMS). ILIAD is designed to provide the tools necessary to manage information, program instrumentation, and analyze programming support, pre-flight validation, and post-test analysis for airborne and ground based systems. The QLS has been designed to enable engineers to batch process jobs for the conversion of digitized raw data into user specified raw samples or engineering units that can be output into several format types. The mViSiion Chapter 10 video player allows users to view multiple channels of video data from an IRIG 106 Chapter 10 file. The player includes features which allow the user to move to a time segment, play at different speeds and save preset window sizes and locations for each of the video displays. These systems operate on Commercial Off-The-Shelf (COTS) computer hardware, data storage systems, associated peripherals, cables and components. See attachment titled "ILIAD Product Suites Summary" for further description of the subcomponents and data management systems.
