Market trend: miniaturization of recorders

Airborne platforms have evolved significantly over the years in terms of their design and functionality. The advent of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) was a major milestone in the evolution of aircraft. Rapid advancements in technology have enabled greater functionality of these platforms while reducing their size. Small UAVs can be used for a variety of applications such as civil, commercial, military, and research and development.

According to Ramyabrata Chakraborty, a lead analyst at Technavio for defense research, “Such small platforms demand miniature flight recorders to gather information about the aerodynamic and flight performance. They employ small and efficient electronics and storage devices to suit the needs of the UAVs. Cockpit voice and flight data recorder manufacturers realize the opportunity that comes with technology enablers from business analytics, mobile solutions, and cloud computing.”

Market challenge: complicated testing procedure

Testing and evaluating the performance black box involve complicated procedures.
