Development, Implementation, Validation of Time Sensitive Network (TSN) Operation using Ethernet Communication for Aerospace Onboard Systems

To validate the Time Sensitive Network (TSN) Operation, Innovator shall develop the following using Standard Hardware Evaluation Boards available in Market:

• TSN Switch having minimum of 5 Nodes.
• High Resolution Camera, which provides Live Audio and Video through TSN Ethernet.
• High Resolution Monitor which can accept video over TSN Ethernet.
• Stereo Audio Head Set which can accept Audio over TSN Ethernet.
• Standard Ethernet Ports (Minimum 2 No’s) from PC or Laptop.

Innovator shall Design Time Sensitive Network (TSN) Switch and TSN Nodes as per IEEE 802.1DP (Draft) Protocol.

TSN Switch shall also support integration with Non-TSN Ethernet (Standard Ethernet Ports).

Suitable Converters/Adapters may be used while connecting TSN Nodes to Standard Ethernet if required.

All TSN Nodes and Standard Ethernet Ports shall be connected to TSN Switch.

Innovator shall demonstrate a TSN Network Operation with the following functions:

• Display of Live Video from Camera on Monitor.
• Playing of Live Audio from Camera on Stereo Audio Head Set.
• Recording of Audio & Video from Camera on PC/Laptop.
• Playing Video from PC/Laptop on Monitor.
• Playing Video from PC/Laptop on Stereo Audio Head Set.
• Data Exchange between Two PCs/Laptops.

Future Expectation from the prototype / Technology developed

TSN Switch will be used to connect TSN Ethernets in Future Aircrafts and Helicopters. Therefore, Innovator shall be ready to Design and Develop (in future) a Military Standard TSN Switch (Hardware & Software) with all Certifications from Certification Agencies.

Innovator shall support the implementation of TSN Node in HAL Developed Hardware Boards.

Innovator shall provide support during integration of TSN Ethernets wherever Innovator’s Design is involved.
