CMDP

Overview

The Common Mission Debrief Program (CMDP) is a Windows-based software product designed by aircrews and flight test engineers to support mission debrief and analysis of IRIG106 Chapter 10 compliant mission recorders. CMDP provides a full range of capabilities from basic aircrew video/audio debrief to flight data analysis in development test, operational test, operational training and combat environments. Currently there are over 800 installations of CMDP throughout DoD and the aerospace industry.

CMDP can playback up to 4 aircraft simultaneously each with up to 6 video/audio channels, 16 Mil-Std-1553B bus channels, 2 IRIG106 Chapter 4/8 PCM channels and 2 Analog Channels. All video/audio and data is automatically time aligned across all aircraft without any user actions required. Any video from any aircraft can be switch into any display on-the-fly! CMDP supports embedded Mission Events and User Events that can be used for quick playback navigation or one-click exports of video, audio and bus data. Full data archive and retrieve support of recorder RMM's, local or network disk and tape is also provided.

There are two modes of operation that can be pre-set in configurations for each user or changed during playback:

Mission Video Mode; plays back video/audio only from Chapter 10 sources (recorder RMM's or files) or MPEG-2, H.264 or Windows Media Format files. Provides up to 8 fixed video displays and auto-load capabilities so the only user action is to Just Hit Play.

Mission Analysis Mode; contains all Mission Video Mode capabilities plus decoding and display of bus channels and PCM channels. In addition to video/audio, data displays include tabular, bar and multiple bar charts, bit conversions, vertical and horizontal multi-channel strip charts, dial and XY plots. All displays are free form and can be saved to user display templates which then can be dynamically loaded during playback. Mission Analysis Mode allows up to 32 video displays along with unlimited data and flight displays.

Multi-aircraft and terrain 2D/3D flight displays are optionally available in Mission Analysis Mode. The flight display shows dynamic WMS terrain databases together with multiple detailed aircraft models for a rangeless ACMI playback environment. Decoded aircraft parameters can be connected to the aircraft models for realistic flight display and synchronous replay with video/audio, bus and PCM data.

The flight display provides 2D god's eye view and 3D views with multiple camera locations. Aircraft have text, trace indicators and sensor projections along with target and range boundary placements on terrain maps. 2D/3D flight displays are aligned with all video and audio to within one video frame.
