RANGE TELEMETRY IMPROVEMENT AND MODERNIZATION

International Telemetering Conference Proceedings / October 27-30, 1997 / Riviera Hotel and Convention Center, Las Vegas, Nevada / The system throughput capacities of modern data systems exceed the bit rate capacity of
current range telemetry capabilities. Coupling this with the shrinking spectrum allocated
for telemetry results in a serious problem for the Test, Training, and Space telemetry users.
Acknowledging this problem, the Department of Defense (DoD) has embarked on an
aggressive improvement and modernization program that will benefit both the government
and commercial range providers and users. The ADVANCED RANGE TELEMETRY
(ARTM) program was created and funded by the Central Test and Evaluation Investment
Program (CTEIP) under the Office of the Secretary of Defense, Undersecretary for
Acquisition and Technology to address this problem. The ARTM program goals are to
improve the efficiency of spectrum usage by changing historical methods of acquiring
telemetry data and transmitting it from systems under test to range customers. The program
is initiating advances in coding, compression, data channel assignment, and modulation.
Due to the strong interactions of these four dimensions, the effort is integrated into a single
focused program. This paper describes the ARTM program and how academia research,
emerging technology, and commercial applications will lay the foundation for future
development.
