A system (20) automatically selects electrical circuits (22) of an electrical unit (24) to be tested, inserts any of a plurality of types of electrical fault signals into the selected circuits and controls the inserted fault signals in accordance with a set of preprogrammed instructions. The fault signals are inserted through an electrical connection adapter (36) into the unit's circuits by a programmed controller. The programmed controller includes a host computer (32) for storing data corresponding to the types of faults to be inserted and a microprocessor (52) for controlling the insertion of the fault signals into the unit under test. A threshold detection circuit (100, 102) monitors the voltage of the inserted fault signals and records an error if the signals are outside preselected limits. Selector means (96, 98) are provided for selecting any of a plurality of fault signal current levels. A timer circuit (60) removes all fault signals after a preselected time interval.

A method, apparatus, and aircraft tracker system for reporting state information for an aircraft. A state of the aircraft is identified using sensor data received from an aircraft sensor system in the aircraft. The state information is transmitted at a reporting rate set using the state of the aircraft identified from the sensor data, at least one of a crew command or a ground command when at least one of the crew command is received from a crew interface or the ground command is received from a ground source, and a policy defining priorities for reporting that are based on at least one of the crew command, the ground command, or the state of the aircraft identified from the sensor data.

The present invention is an improved fiber optic sensing system (FOSS) having the ability to provide both high spatial resolution and high frequency strain measurements. The inventive hybrid FOSS fiber combines sensors from high acquisition speed and low spatial resolution Wavelength-Division Multiplexing (WDM) systems and from low acquisition speed and high spatial resolution Optical Frequency Domain Reflection (OFDR) systems. Two unique light sources utilizing different wavelengths are coupled with the hybrid FOSS fiber to generate reflected data from both the WDM sensors and OFDR sensors operating on a single fiber optic cable without incurring interference from one another. The two data sets are then de-multiplexed for analysis, optionally with conventionally-available WDM and OFDR system analyzers.
