Helicopter HUMS | Helicopter Health & Usage Monitoring Systems
The Next-Generation Health & Usage Monitoring System for Helicopters
Diagnostic Solutions International offers a proven solution for Helicopter HUMS; a faster, better, proven next-generation embedded diagnostic solution just for helicopters.
The HUMS 1100 / 1200 Series product line is a revolutionary advancement in diagnostic technology for helicopter condition-based maintenance (CBM) applications. The products are based on the highly successful, combatproven 1209 Modern Signal Processing Unit (MSPU) selected by Bell Helicopter, Boeing, and the U.S. Army.
The patent-pending reconfigurable computing architecture offers faster than real-time processing using the latest Virtex4 FPGA and XTremeDSP (Digital Signal Processing) technology from XILINX Corporation.
The Series is compatible with existing helicopter software products, including; PC-GBS, iMDS Database Setup Tool, iMDS Server and the iMDS Matlab® Development Toolbox.
