International Telemetering Conference Proceedings / October 18-21, 2004 / Town & Country Resort, San Diego, California / The Compact Kinetic Energy Missile (CKEM) is currently being developed as the Army’s newest
hypervelocity anti-tank missile. The project has recently transitioned from the Science and
Technology Objective phase to the Advanced Technology Demonstration phase. Science and
technology phase flight testing required the development of a miniature telemetry system for
measuring the super sonic flight dynamics of the airframe, as well as, monitoring of the on board
flight computer. Design challenges included a small mechanical envelope, limited power budget,
numerous analog measurements, computer serial stream processing, and harsh launch and flight
dynamics. Two versions of the system were developed in support of the partnership effort between
the Army Missile Research, Development, and Engineering Center (AMRDEC) and industry. This
paper will focus on the successful design, development, and flight tests of the CKEM telemetry
system.
