Sital announces successful test of its innovative “Tails Code Key” technology with Israeli Air Force.
Israel, April 2007.
Sital Technology has conducted tests of its new patent pending "Tails Code Key" technology for Mil-Std-1553 bus maintenance. The results backed up the theoretical assumptions, previously seen on simulation.
The test was conducted on a F-16 mockup, together with avionics engineers from Israeli Air Force, and proved the need for such technology to overcome wiring and connectors problems, often hard to detect and repair.
"Tail Code Key" is a parametric test that is measured during flight in real time, 50 times a second. These numbers serve as a code - quality code. The code varies as a direct result of the quality of the bus.
If the bus connectors or wires degrade over time and usage, the measured code would change. Technicians get an early warning for problems that should be fixed before they fail the bus.
Three important benefits are gained from the detailed grade:
- The ability to detect failures before they impact functionality.
- Physical location of failure on the bus.
- Detection of single failure events during flight.
“I am excited to see theory comes to life”, says Ofer Hofman, founder and R&D Manager of Sital Technology.
Duli Yariv, VP Marketing and Sales of Sital adds: “Tails Code Key will allow Israeli Air Force to dramatically shorten efforts related to avionics bus maintenance. This technology will enable our customers to save time, costs and efforts, currently required, on problems that are related to avionics bus malfunctions and even take preventive measures to fix problems before they occur.”
“Tails Code Key” technology will be integrated with Sital’s successful Mil-Std-1553 IP Cores, used by military and aerospace customers around the world.
