International Telemetering Conference Proceedings / October 25-28, 1999 / Riviera Hotel and Convention Center, Las Vegas, Nevada / Due to Cost and Safety considerations the Range Division of the 412th Test Wing is
upgrading remote telemetry (TM) antenna sites to be operated and monitored remotely.
This is possible, in part, due to the installation of fiber optic cable, and the use of ATM
communications protocol. Both of these applications significantly reduce signal latency
from the remote control station located at Ridley Mission Control Center (RMCC) and the
Antenna site. This paper discusses the challenges associated with controlling these
sophisticated systems remotely. We will also describe the decisions and how they were
made, the concerns over system performance, and the impact to other systems. This paper
also addresses the technologies chosen to support the requirements and overcome the
challenges. The benefits of remote range sensors are also discussed. We will provide top-level
block diagrams of the system architecture.
