A REAL TIME MULTIPROGRAMMED TELEMETRY SYSTEM

Abstract

A study of several Telemetry Data Reduction Systems has revealed some common problems which reduce the effectiveness of these systems. The problems include: The high cost of real-time computer analysis programs, lengthy turnaround for data product modification, lack of testing flexibility, and reduced hardware system utilization. A computer system, 11TELFILE11, has been implemented to improve upon these problem areas. This system is operational at the Space and Missile Test Center (SAMTEC), Vandenberg Air Force Base, for support of the Minuteman III Weapons Systems.
