International Telemetering Conference Proceedings / October 22-25, 2001 / Riviera Hotel and Convention Center, Las Vegas, Nevada / Software and techniques are described for testing the Advanced Data Acquisition and Processing System (ADAPS), the primary flight test telemetry system used at Edwards AFB, California. The software described acts as an additional simulation capability and moves the simulation definition process into a realm where data is formed by means of a high-order language. The potential for creation of more sophisticated simulated test data is thus enabled. Extension of the techniques described in this paper to applications other than testing is discussed.

International Telemetering Conference Proceedings / October 25-28, 1999 / Riviera Hotel and Convention Center, Las Vegas, Nevada / The 412th Test Wing, Range Division has developed an all-terrain van system to receive real-time telemetry and also to display the processed data for remote location flight-testing. The vans are refurbished Ground Launch Cruise Missile (GLCM), Launch Control Centers (LCC). The vans were a joint development effort between the Range and the Advanced Fighter Technology Integration (AFTI) program office. The van systems were specifically designed to support Ground Collision Avoidance System (GCAS) testing. However, the van systems have been successfully used to support other customers, with remote telemetry needs, due to the systems Commercial Off the Shelf (COTS) design. This document will describe the design, layout and rationale for the systems design. This paper will also provide the systems capabilities with top-level block diagrams.

International Telemetering Conference Proceedings / October 23-26, 2000 / Town & Country Hotel and Conference Center, San Diego, California / This paper will provide details on planned upgrades to the Advanced Data Acquisition and Processing System (ADAPS) Real-Time / Post Flight Processing (RT/PFP) telemetry processor. The ADAPS RT/PFP is used to process real-time telemetry at the Air Force Flight Test Center (AFFTC). The ADAPS telemetry processor is based on the L3 Communications O/S90 telemetry pre-processing system. New modifications to the ADAPS telemetry processor will provide increased processing capability, increased data throughput, and higher reliability.

International Telemetering Conference Proceedings / October 23-26, 2000 / Town & Country Hotel and Conference Center, San Diego, California / This paper presents an overview of the telemetry attributes management system used to support the Advanced Data Acquisition and Processing System (ADAPS) at the Air Force Flight Test Center (AFFTC). The Joint Test Data Management System is an object-oriented system used to store telemetry attributes. JTDMS accepts telemetry attributes in a variety of formats and provides setup files for the ADAPS system.

International Telemetering Conference Proceedings / October 23-26, 2000 / Town & Country Hotel and Conference Center, San Diego, California / Microsoft’s Component Object Model (COM) allows us to rapidly develop display and analysis features for the Advanced Data Acquisition and Processing System (ADAPS).

International Telemetering Conference Proceedings / October 25-28, 1999 / Riviera Hotel and Convention Center, Las Vegas, Nevada / This paper describes the Real-Time/Post-Flight Processing System (RT/PFP) developed under the Air Force Flight Test Center (AFFTC) Advanced Data Acquisition and Processing Systems (ADAPS) development program. The RT/PFP is currently being deployed at all Range Division Mission Control Facilities as the principal Range Division telemetry processing system. This paper provides an overview of the RT/PFP system, its current capabilities, and future enhancements being developed. The RT/PFP is currently used to support the F-22 flight test program, and to provide telemetry processing support for the AFFTC Range Safety Office. The RT/PFP is also used in a mobile configuration to support the Advanced Fighter Technology Integration program.

International Telemetering Conference Proceedings / October 25-28, 1999 / Riviera Hotel and Convention Center, Las Vegas, Nevada / Today’s telemetry systems can reduce spectrum demand and maintain secure voice by encoding analog voice into digital data using; Continuously Variable Slope Delta Modulation ( CVSD ) format and imbedding it into a telemetry stream. The model CSC-0390 DvD system is an excellent choice in decoding digital voice, designed with flexibility, efficiency, and simplicity in mind. Flexibility in design brings forth a capability of operating on a wide variety of telemetry systems and data formats without any specialized interfaces. The utilization of 74HC series circuit technology makes this DvD system efficient in design, low cost, and lower power consumption. In addition the front panel display and control function is also is an example of Simplicity in design and operation.
