Network Telemetry: Practical Experiences and Unique Features

Abstract

The US Army’s Yuma Proving Ground (YPG) uses a wireless local area network (WLAN) to gather test data. It is desired to extend this WLAN to support tests of gun-launched munitions where miniature and rugged data acquisition hardware will be required. The Two Way Robust Acquisition of Data (2-RAD) program has been initiated under the Central Test and Evaluation Investment Program (CTEIP) to develop a process to expand the use of WLAN technology, which is now primarily used at YPG for internal ballistic test data acquisition.
