MOBILE ALL TERRAIN TELEMETRY AND DATA DISPLAY VANS

Abstract

The 412th Test Wing, Range Division has developed an all-terrain van system to receive real-time telemetry and also to display the processed data for remote location flight-testing. The vans are refurbished Ground Launch Cruise Missile (GLCM), Launch Control Centers (LCC). The vans were a joint development effort between the Range and the Advanced Fighter Technology Integration (AFTI) program office. The van systems were specifically designed to support Ground Collision Avoidance System (GCAS) testing. However, the van systems have been successfully used to support other customers, with remote telemetry needs, due to the systems Commercial Off the Shelf (COTS) design. This document will describe the design, layout and rationale for the systems design. This paper will also provide the systems capabilities with top-level block diagrams.
