The Telemetry Branch within the US Army’s Armament Research, Development and Engineering Center (ARDEC) has developed a miniature telemetry device that supports: live data, on-board recording (OBR), and delay repeat OBR telemetry functions in order to capture valuable interior ballistics sensor measurements of developmental munitions and weapons systems. This paper discusses the measurement capability of the STEEL (Selectable Telemetry Enhanced ELectronics) architecture and its typical integrated characteristics. The STEEL architecture has been demonstrated to reliably perform during live fire 155mm artillery and 120mm mortar testing environments. Results will be presented highlighting the electronics’ performance during these extreme environmental conditions.Sponsors
