International Telemetering Conference Proceedings / October 23-26, 2000 / Town & Country Hotel and Conference Center, San Diego, California / This paper describes the integration effort of ARTM systems into the existing telemetry infrastructure at
the Air Force Flight Test Center (AFFTC) at Edwards AFB, California. This paper will also discuss the
framework of the ARTM integration effort, which includes defining user requirements, integration
approach, management approach, procurement, test and evaluation, and coordination with the ARTM
Joint Program Office (JPO). Interoperability with existing equipment and with other ranges will also be
discussed. ARTM is a Central Test and Evaluation Investment Program (CTEIP) under the Office of the
Secretary of Defense, Undersecretary for Acquisition and Technology whose purpose is to improve the
efficiency of spectrum usage. As the ARTM program approaches completion, integration efforts are
underway to take advantage of the capabilities developed by the ARTM program. This integration effort
brings the Test and Evaluation (T&E) community at Edwards AFB a step closer to realizing solutions to
a variety of telemetering challenges including the shrinking frequency spectrum, demand for higher data
rates, and the need to maintain the current level of commonality and interoperability between Major
Range and Test Facility Bases (MRTFB).
