Telemetry Systems — Tracking & Monitoring Solutions

A telemetry system is a hardware and software platform used to remotely acquire, process, and monitor data from a test subject — such as an aircraft during flight testing. Lumistar's telemetry systems deliver complete baseband telemetry processing, integrating functions such as bit synchronization, frame synchronization, decommutation, IRIG time code, and Telemetry over IP (TMoIP) to enable real-time data acquisition and monitoring across field, portable, and rack-mounted deployments.

The LS-68 Series is available in three configurations: a small modular unit for flexible integration, a portable lunchbox (LS-68-M-P1) for field-deployable operations, and a 1U rack-mounted unit (LS-68-R1) for fixed telemetry facility installations. This range of form factors ensures the system can be adapted to laboratory, field, and airborne environments.

Yes, the LS-68 Series includes built-in Telemetry over IP (TMoIP) capability, enabling telemetry data to be distributed across standard IP networks. This allows real-time sharing of telemetry streams between remote locations, supporting distributed ground station architectures and networked flight test operations.

Lumistar's telemetry systems are designed for a broad range of industries including Aerospace & Flight Test, Defense & Military, Federal Test Ranges, and Commercial Flight Test. The systems support applications from real-time flight test data acquisition to IRIG 106-compliant defense test range operations and portable commercial aircraft data acquisition programs.

Lumistar brings over 100 years of combined telemetry engineering experience to its product designs. The company has revolutionized ground telemetry stations by reducing them from 250 kg, 8-foot systems into hand-held units under 1 kg — without sacrificing processing capability. Every system is also backed by unlimited post-delivery technical support, world-class training, and what Lumistar describes as the finest warranty in the flight test telemetry industry.

Absolutely. The LS-68 Series was specifically engineered with compact size, low weight, and low power consumption in mind. The portable lunchbox configuration (LS-68-M-P1) is purpose-built for field and airborne deployment, enabling full ground station processing capability without requiring a fixed facility or large power infrastructure.

Yes, all Lumistar telemetry products — including the LS-68 Series — are designed and manufactured in the United States at the company's facility in San Marcos, California. Lumistar holds a CAGE Code (718V9) and operates as a recognized Defense Industrial Base Sector entity, ensuring compliance with applicable domestic manufacturing and defense procurement standards.
