Ampex

Ampex; develops rugged systems that capture, record, protect and offload mission data across airborne, land, maritime and space platforms. The TuffCORD, TuffServ and SmartDock families form complementary layers for EO/IR, sensor, telemetry and other high-value data streams. TARGET A.Ş. provides a local technical point of contact in Turkey for product selection, interface planning and system integration.

01 / CAPTUREMission data recording

Sensor, video, telemetry and network streams are captured simultaneously at the platform edge.

02 / PROTECTSecure removable storage

Rugged recording systems and removable media options protect mission data on the platform.

03 / OFFLOADControlled data transfer

SmartDock completes the post-mission download and key-management workflow for compatible memory modules.

Product families

Three complementary layers for mission data.

Recording, rugged network storage and post-mission offload can be selected within one data lifecycle.

DATA LIFECYCLE

Move mission data from source to analysis in four steps.

Product and interface selection follows the data flow from its origin on the platform through post-mission use.

01 / CAPTURE

Define the data sources

Identify the interfaces and data rates for video, telemetry, EO/IR, radar and network streams.

02 / RECORD

Select the recording architecture

Configure the recorder around platform volume, power budget, throughput and capacity requirements.

03 / PROTECT

Protect data throughout the mission

Match removable media and appropriate encryption options to the mission security requirements.

04 / OFFLOAD

Complete the post-mission transfer

Move the compatible memory module to SmartDock for a controlled transfer into the network infrastructure.

Why Ampex?

Ampex combines mission recording and post-mission transfer within one product ecosystem.

Purpose-built for data at the edge

Options scale from compact recorders to high-capacity network storage for different SWaP-C requirements.

Open, configurable architecture

Interfaces, storage and software components can be configured around mission data and platform requirements.

Secure workflow from record to offload

TuffCORD and SmartDock provide a complementary path for removable-media transfer and key management.

Ampex rugged data recording and storage solutions

The Ampex TuffCORD and TuffServ families can be configured to capture, record and store high-value mission data in EO/IR, ISR, electronic warfare, telemetry and flight-test applications. Selection considers throughput, capacity, interfaces, size, weight, power and security requirements together.

Local integration support for Ampex products in Turkey

TARGET A.Ş. supports requirements analysis, product selection and system integration in Turkey for Ampex recorders, removable memory modules and the SmartDock offload station. Recording channels, data formats, network interfaces, storage capacity and the post-mission offload workflow are evaluated against project conditions.
