Memory Access Retrieval System MARS



MARS (FDR/CVR Memory Access Retrieval System) is designed solely for accident investigation authorities. It reads the memory board directly and produces a file for each individual chip without the need for a Golden Chassis or OEM interfaces/software. By having control of the entire process from start to finish, investigators have the ability to intervene when things don't work according to plan.

MARS also has the capability of reading undamaged recorders by simply removing the crash-survivable memory unit from the chassis, to expose the memory board's cable and connector.
