ITC/USA 2011 Conference Proceedings / The Forty-Seventh Annual International Telemetering Conference and Technical Exhibition / October 24-27, 2011 / Bally's Las Vegas, Las Vegas, Nevada / Currently most of the missile telemetry systems operate in the lower S-Band frequency range (2200-2290 MHz). Due to Federal Government plans to repurpose this frequency spectrum to commercial entities, missile telemetry systems will have to migrate to operate in the lower C-Band range (4400-4940 MHz) as well. This move in the operational frequency requires the upgrading of not only the Range ground receiving equipment, but the airborne transmitting units as well. This paper will detail the efforts required to augment a missile telemetry unit from operating in S-Band to C-Band.

ITC/USA 2011 Conference Proceedings / The Forty-Seventh Annual International Telemetering Conference and Technical Exhibition / October 24-27, 2011 / Bally's Las Vegas, Las Vegas, Nevada / This paper describes a short distance telemetry network which measures and relays time, space, and position information among a group of ground vehicles. The goal is to allow a lead vehicle to be under human control, or perhaps controlled using advanced autonomous path planning and navigation tools. The telemetry network will then allow a series of inexpensive, unmanned vehicles to follow the lead vehicle at a safe distance. Ultrasonic and infrared signals will be relayed between the vehicles, to allow the following vehicles to locate their position, and track the lead vehicle.

ITC/USA 2011 Conference Proceedings / The Forty-Seventh Annual International Telemetering Conference and Technical Exhibition / October 24-27, 2011 / Bally's Las Vegas, Las Vegas, Nevada / An automated missile testing environment, reliant on telemetry data, demands automated control of telemetry devices. Software reuse across many missile products (Wikipedia)i and different lab environments requires a software control product that has a simple interface and an ease of modification across different telemetry device vendors. This paper describes a software application that integrates telemetry control/status into automated test and provides a simplified GUI to expedite manual testing. Results from this application show telemetry overhead time reduced by 74%, with a rapid payback on our investment of less than six months.

International Telemetering Conference Proceedings / October 30-November 02, 1995 / Riviera Hotel, Las Vegas, Nevada / This paper describes the use of an open architecture, low-cost, turnkey Telemetry, Tracking and Command (TT&C) processor system. The workstation based system was developed to satisfy the requirement for ground station equipment to handle and process multiple vehicle platforms for telemetry, command and tracking (tone or PRN), including STDN, SGLS and CCSDS link formats. The open architecture of the system allows for easy interface with external equipment for control of antenna systems, encryption units and other related station equipment. Reconfiguration for the various data formats and for system verification is done through a graphical user interfaces using operationally proven commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) software and hardware. The open architecture of the system will allow for modifications and upgrades to be cost effective.

International Telemetering Conference Proceedings / October 30-November 02, 1995 / Riviera Hotel, Las Vegas, Nevada / The Internet, as the online worldwide connection of computers has come to be known, has now grown to the point of emergence as a major tool in many applications. It will soon become, if it has not already become, an indispensable source of information and interaction for scientists and business people alike. The use of the Internet's various protocol's, including mail, newsreader, and file transfer, produces a global interconnectedness that is impossible to achieve in any other fashion. It is also important to realize that the Internet is currently doubling in size every year and will continue to grow at an extremely accelerated rate for at least the next five years. It is therefore important to be aware of the various applications made possible by use of the Internet, and of the potential for telemetry related uses.

International Telemetering Conference Proceedings / October 17-20, 1994 / Town & Country Hotel and Conference Center, San Diego, California / GPS is required in today's vehicle tracking and navigation applications. The Navigation Satellite Timing and Ranging (NAVSTAR GPS) is an all-weather. Radio based, satellite navigation system that enables users to accurately determine 3-dimensional position, velocity and time. So it is an intelligent sensor intended to be used as a component in a system for public service.

International Telemetering Conference Proceedings / October 25-28, 1993 / Riviera Hotel and Convention Center, Las Vegas, Nevada / The use of video imaging in VME based data acquisitions systems is increasing. Some systems require the video data to be telemetered. In telemetry systems that require video data to be sent, a dedicated video data channel is common. It is the purpose of this paper to present the combination of a video interface and a video PCM channel into one module. The name of this project is "Video Interface Module" (VIM).

International Telemetering Conference Proceedings / October 25-28, 1993 / Riviera Hotel and Convention Center, Las Vegas, Nevada / Until the early 80's, telemetry processing systems were commonly run on mainframe or mini computers running proprietary operating systems and software with limited portability. The advent of the 'low-cost' workstation reduced the hardware cost but the software still remained relatively expensive and relatively mission specific. The workstation itself, although comparatively cheap, was not, and is still not, an everyday piece of computing hardware Telemetry Processing software has been developed by Micro SciTech to meet both low-cost hardware requirements and mission independence. It runs on networked IBM PC compatible computers and can be re-configured and used for many different missions and experiments without the need for extensive software rewrites.
