Distributed Instrumentation A ‘Mini-’ Range Instrumentation System

Abstract

In a test environment where several projects are vying for time for their test program, how do you support the programs who are waiting their turn in line? Or the program which only wants telemetry support in his assembly area, and doesn’t want to pay for the entire range? The answer is a ‘mini-’ range instrumentation facility without the expensive tracking and relay systems. Distributed Instrumentation allows for 1) Project dedicated support; 2) Project unique support; and 3) Project favorable costs. Distributed Instrumentation is a network of instrumentation capabilities which can be catalog selected and integrated into a project friendly system, and can support the project’s particular requirements and time schedule.
