TELEMETRY IN A VARIED TEST AND EVALUATION ENVIRONMENT

Abstract

This paper covers the development to date of the Telemetry Facilities at the Defence Test & Evaluation Organisation located at Boscombe Down. The practices adopted to meet the many varied requirements of trials customers and some experiences gained in achieving successful implementation will be addressed. DTEO Boscombe Down, formerly known as the Aeroplane & Armament Evaluation Establishment, is the official United Kingdom Government Test Centre for military aircraft and their systems. It is part of the Defence Evaluation & Research Agency (DERA) an Agency of the Ministry of Defence. A wide range of trials are carried out by DTEO (BD) and customised telemetry installations are routinely undertaken.
