Navy Flight Testing Environmental Data Transfer Format Standard

Abstract

This document outlines key elements of a data format standard for transferring Navy environmental flight test data between members of the Collaborative Environments Characterization Working Group (CECWG). The plan applies to measured data as well as analyzed or processed data. This plan is intended to foster a more productive collaboration between CECWG members by providing a common interface format such that each agency only has to receive and transmit data in one common format. Ideally, each agency is thus only responsible for translating formats between the native format of each agency’s respective database of flight measurements and this common data transfer format.
