TENA and JMETC in Telemetry Applications

Abstract

The Test and Training Enabling Architecture (TENA) is a validated, common architecture which provides for real-time software system interoperability as well as interfaces to existing range assets, C4ISR systems, and simulations. The TENA Middleware, currently at Release 6.0.4, has been used by the range community for testing, training, evaluation, and feedback in many major exercises and events since 2002, and has been selected as the interoperability solution in the Joint Mission Environment Test Capability's (JMETC's) distributed testing. Through investment in the Test Resource Management Center's (TRMC's) Test & Evaluation (T&E) / Science & Technology (S&T) Program and innovative use at ranges including the Pacific Missile Range Facility (PMRF), Yuma Proving Ground (YPG), Redstone Test Center (RTC), and Edwards AFB, TENA is increasingly expanding to and being utilized by the Telemetry community.
