REMOTE TRACKING STATION (RTS) MODERNIZATION PROGRAM

Abstract

This paper presents the need for the modernization of the AFSCF RTSs. The system design concept set forth features an automated RTS under remote control by an external control center. The automated RTS objective is to achieve a common ground station configuration for the AFSCF which facilitates interoperability, internetting, and future growth; and to reduce ground station operations and support costs.
