International Telemetering Conference Proceedings / October 25-28, 1999 / Riviera Hotel and Convention Center, Las Vegas, Nevada / Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM) is a technology that is experiencing tremendous
growth in the commercial telecommunications sector. Leveraging commercial investment
and introducing ATM into today’s flight test range, while ensuring that all requirements
are satisfied, are paying large dividends in capability and efficiency. The flight test
community imposes unique requirements specifically with regards to telemetry that are not
the norm of the commercial telecommunications industry. Efforts are underway at the Air
Force Flight Test Center (AFFTC), Edwards Air Force Base (AFB) to implement an ATM
system for all range communications.
This paper addresses the unique requirements imposed by the flight test community, a
revolutionary breakthrough from a commercial ATM vendor, and other challenges
experienced while implementing this system. The system being implemented at Edwards
will carry all types of range data over SONET/ATM hybrid equipment and interface to
other flight test ranges and facilities over a mix of commercial leased lines and dedicated
microwaves.
