International Telemetering Conference Proceedings / October 22-25, 2001 / Riviera Hotel and Convention Center, Las Vegas, Nevada / The Hardened Subminiature Telemetry and Sensor System (HSTSS) is a model program; executing
Department of Defense (DoD) initiatives, such as Acquisition Reform, Industry Partnering, and the
use of Integrated Product Teams (IPT). The HSTSS is partnering because the unique expertise
needed for the high g instrumentation system is spread across industry and the Government. The
approaches used to reduce risk in the development of instrumentation systems will be described.
Also technical strategies will be addressed. In this paper a discussion about the affect that the IPT
process has had on HSTSS to make the program successful. This paper will describe the strategy
used to leverage existing technologies, processes, and to market the components that has been
developed. The information presented here will address how partnering and the use of commercial
technology will reduce the program costs as well as the unit cost. The importance of working
together within the Services and sharing funds and technology to accomplish more with less will be
addressed. This paper will address how we are delivering a low cost, miniature, high-g (100,000
g’s), and modular instrumentation system. This instrumentation is to be used for indirect fire and
direct fire projectiles and small missiles. The building blocks for this instrumentation system
include batteries, transmitter, pulse code modulation (PCM) encoders, and a variety of sensors
(pressure, spin rate, etc.). Instrumentation requirement for HSTSS is to collect data from launch to
impact.
