International Telemetering Conference Proceedings / October 30-November 02, 1995 / Riviera Hotel, Las Vegas, Nevada / Eglin Air Force Base (AFB) plans to demonstrate subminiature telemetry (SMT)
spread spectrum technology, via an upgraded prototype SMT system, to validate its
cost-effectiveness for both Department of Defense (DoD) and commercial use. The
goal is to develop new and/or modify current SMT instrumentation using existing
production methods to provide increased capabilities at lower costs and reduced size.
The transmitter is to require less than 2 cubic inches of space and have a cost goal of
$500/unit "in quantity." The cost goal of a ground-based, 24-channel capable ground
receiver is $4000/unit "in quantity". The SMT project as well as its schedule, flight
and ground demonstrations, validation criteria and goals, and various benefits are
discussed.
