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 On-board Payload Data Processing (OBPDP) technologies covering the 2016-2023 timeframe. In this roadmap, activities for the domains of Digital Signal Processors, High Speed Networks, Payload Mass Memories, I/O and DAQ modules, Data Compression, Reconfigurable P/L Processors, Payload Support Software, and Wireless Technologies for P/L have been defined together with associated scope, priority, approximate funding level and other aspects. In this presentation, an overview of the new harmonised roadmap for OBPDP technologies will be presented. Key development lines and associated activity sequences will be pointed out. Critical technologies for European competitiveness and non-dependence will be highlighted, and challenges for the roadmap implementation will be explained.
