SUBMINIATURE TELEMETRY FOR MULTIPLE MUNITION (TECHNOLOGY TRANSITION)

International Telemetering Conference Proceedings / October 30-November 02, 1995 / Riviera Hotel, Las Vegas, Nevada / The Instrumentation Technology Branch of Wright Laboratory Armament Directorate
(WL/MNSI), has successfully completed an Exploratory Development (6.2) program
to develop Subminiature Telemetry (SMT). SMT is a flexible, programmable
telemeter with self calibration, power control and Direct Sequence Spread Spectrum
modulation. The development program successfully demonstrated the ability of the
SMT system to collect up to 64 analog and/or 128 digital discrete signals with
programmable gain, bandwidth and offset. The program demonstrated a spread
spectrum multiple-access technique that allows for simultaneous transmission and
receipt of up to 96 different telemetry units within a 100 MHz telemetry band.
WL/MNSI is conducting an Advanced Technology Development (6.3) program to
continue development in this area. An air-worthy 4 channel spread spectrum
demodulator was developed to support the SMT program but it is too costly for
ground applications. The goals of this effort are to reduce the demodulator cost by a
factor of 10 while increasing the capability for simultaneously processing data from
24 telemetry units and to support the first Technology Transition Plan (TTP) between
WL/MN and the Air Force Development Test Center (AFDTC). The TTP will
facilitate the transition of SMT spread spectrum technology to AFDTC for mission
support over the next three years.
