ITC/USA 2007 Conference Proceedings / The Forty-Third Annual International Telemetering Conference and Technical Exhibition / October 22-25, 2007 / Riviera Hotel & Convention Center, Las Vegas, Nevada / This paper discusses the methodology, requirements, tests, and implementation plan for the live
demonstration of the Enhanced Flight Termination System (EFTS) using a missile program at
two locations in Florida: Eglin Air Force Base (AFB) and Tyndall AFB. The demonstration
included the integration of EFTS Flight Termination Receivers (FTRs) onto the missile and the
integration of EFTS-program-developed transmitter assets with the mission control system at
Eglin and Tyndall AFBs. The initial test stages included ground testing and captive-carry flights,
followed by a launch in which EFTS was designated as the primary flight termination system for
the launch.
