Currently we have the GSSr recorders installed on the following Operational Flight Program Aircraft Simulators; MC130H, AC130U, AC130H and HH60 Pave Hawk. This action will provide similar recording capabilities for the MC130E platform that will be compatible with the equipment we already have. The only source of these recorders is Zodiac Data Systems, INC. Station drawings would have to be updated and maintained separately, configurations and connections would be different and would be problematic for troubleshooting or hot swapping equipment in case of failures. Additionally, the HEIM d200f in this action is an Airborne Data Recorder that will be used along with currently owned D200f assets. The 580th SMXS currently owns two HEIM D200f Airborne Data Recorders that we use for DT&E software testing. The compatibility with already owned equipment is the focus of the decision to purchase the D200f. The recorder is also modular and the modules are shared between recorders as needed.
