Description
In 2016, a new cycle of technology harmonisation activities took place for several avionics technology areas. ESA, in collaboration with the Technology Harmonisation Advisory Group (THAG), has established a new R&D roadmap for Data Systems and On-Board Computers (DSOBC) technologies covering the 2016-2023 timeframe. Data Systems and On-board Computers encompass a vast range of functional blocks that include Telecommand and Telemetry Modules, On-Board computers, Data Storage and Mass memories, Remote Terminal Units, Communication protocols, Busses and Wireless Technologies for P/F. These elements are common to all projects and are subject to a demanding set of evolving requirements from Science, Exploration, Earth Observation and Telecom missions. In this presentation an overview of the new harmonised roadmap for DSOBC architecture, building blocks , interfaces and technologies will be presented. Key elements as reference designs and microcontroller for space will be highlighted.
