Evaluation and Potential Design Mitigations to Address Changes in RCC 319-19

Abstract

The Range Commanders Council (RCC) Range Safety Group updated the Flight Termination Systems (FTS) Commonality Standard 319 in July 2019, which incorporated numerous changes from the previous September 2014 version in both FTS performance and test requirements, chapters 3 and 4. Additionally, significant changes to safety software validation, autonomous FTS, and guidance on using automotive grade parts were added. After providing an overview of FTS and RCC 319, Raytheon Missile Systems Subject Matter Experts will discuss and summarize the most impactful changes of the 2019 release of RCC 319 with proposed actions and high-level implementation concepts.
