The goal of the ACDS (Aircraft Camera Demonstrator System) project is to design and build a multi-camera system that replicates the layout of an aircraft's mounted cameras to-scale and renders a birds-eye-view of the aircraft based on camera locations; the ACDS will be used as a camera technology demonstrator capable of simulating views for a variety of to-scale aircraft. This will be developed based on an existing small scale birds-eye-view system used with a mockup aircraft.
The ACDS shall utilize the small scale ACDS software, camera hardware, and wireless video feed.
The ACDS shall be capable of locating and supporting 4 cameras in physical locations corresponding with TBD aircraft camera positions, with no less than 2 positions validated and capable of no less than 6 positions with potential to scale to additional positions.
The ACDS shall be capable of withstanding typical external conditions, such as the following
- Ambient Temperature >110F
- Ambient Temperature <10F
- Humid conditions of 99% for up to 10 hours
- Water vapor or misting conditions up to 1 hour
- Wind conditions up to 15mph and gusts up to 25mph
The ACDS shall be capable of extended use of 10 hours continuous operation
The ACDS shall be capable of disassembly for transport into no more than 2 standard luggage containers (pelican cases preferred) weighing < 50lb each.
The ACDS shall include no components that would restrict commercial transport in a package configuration. NOTE: It is acceptable if carry on is prohibited as long as checked baggage on commercial transit is confirmed to be allowable.
The ACDS shall survive a drop from 3 feet when in a packaged configuration.
The ACDS shall withstand typical transportation vibration loads when in a packaged configuration.
The ACDS shall utilize the existing small scale ACDS camera video output setup
The ACDS shall include full scale CAD for aircraft that correspond with physical camera locations
The ACDS shall include a selectable configuration for multiple camera system demonstration configurations with no less than 2 and capable of no less than 6 positions with potential for additional configurations.
The project shall include a finalized set of drawings with camera locations, component parts list (BOM), and wiring interfaces.
The project shall include all software data including annotations and interface data.
The project shall include a user manual for operators to set up, locate, and utilize the ACDS.
