International Telemetering Conference Proceedings / October 23-26, 2000 / Town & Country Hotel and Conference Center, San Diego, California / The Range Instrumentation and Control System (RICS) is the twenty-first century replacement for an
aging time-space-position information (TSPI) distribution and collection system used by the 46th Test
Wing at Eglin AFB, Florida. The purpose of the RICS is to collect TSPI and distribute it across a wide
area network in real-time. It will utilize a multi-threaded C++ program on VxWorks (a real-time
operating system by Wind River Systems) to acquire TSPI from a radar system. The acquired data will
be multicast to several local area networks where the data will be recorded and displayed in real-time
using a Java program on the Linux operating system. This paper describes the design process and design
rationale for developing a distributed, real-time, heterogeneous system.
