continuedTECHNICAL PAPER ABSTRACTS:T&E Telemetry and Onboard Recording Data ProjectionsDr.Charles H.JonesEngineering Directorate,412th Test Wing,Edwards Air Force Base,CaliforniaProjecting growth is always a dangerous occupation.However,there are times when the exercise isworth the risk.Some members within the test and evaluation community think it is time to consid-er the quantities ofdata that will be collected in the future and actions that can be taken now to han-dle them.This article analyzes historical trends in several areas of data acquisition.The originalmotivation for this analysis related to the decreasing ability to meet telemetry needs with limitedradio frequency spectrum.Specifically,the authors sought to determine the worst-case deficiencybetween what they would like to telemeter and what they can telemeter.The answer to the question,“How much would we telemeter if we had infinite spectrum?”is“Everything we record onboard.”Thus,the following analysis includes telemetry data rates,as well as aggregate data acquisition rates.When confronted with the projections provided,the immediate question becomes“What do we dowith all that data?”A brief response to this question is
