The Common Architecture Recorder (CAR) helps customers shift data acquisition and recording systems from a capital expense to an operating cost. The CAR is scalable with the flexibility to add almost everything you might want, but not stuffed with the costly things you don’t need. The low-cost of the CAR is only rivaled by its small size, making it perfect for “attritable” aerospace and ground vehicles.
