PCM600 Data Acquisition System
 Airborne Telemetry

The PCM600 was the first programmable, high data rate, low cost, ruggedized, miniaturized and modular data acquisition system, and was introduced in 1993. Since that time, competitors have introduced look-alike products, but the PCM600 remains the premier product in the airborne telemetry world. The PCM600 has an unblemished flight test record of providing telemetry on munitions test programs, including JDAM, JSOW, JASSM and PAC3. Embedded encryption is available for qualified U.S. programs, with NSA approval for use required. If you are looking for a competitive edge for your program, look no further – call Telemetry-West!
