International Telemetering Conference Proceedings / October 28-31, 1996 / Town and Country Hotel and Convention Center, San Diego, California / A system was developed using capabilities from the Range Applications Joint Program
Office (RAJPO) GPS tracking system and the ACMI Interface System (ACINTS) to
provide tracking data and visual cues to experimenters. The Mobile Advanced Range Data
System (ARDS) Control System (MACS) outputs are used to provide research data in
support of advanced project studies. Enhanced from a previous system, the MACS
expands system capabilities to allow researchers to locate where Digital Terrain Elevation
Data (DTED) is available for incorporation into a reference data base.
The System Integration Group at Veda Incorporated has been supporting Wright
Laboratories in the ground-based tracking and targeting arena since 1989 with the design,
development, and integration of four generations of real-time, telemetry-based tracking
aids. Commencing in Q3 1995, Veda began developing a mobile, transportable system
based on the RAJPO GPS tracking system. The resulting system architecture takes
advantage of the front end processor (FEP) used in the three previous generations of
interface systems built for Wright Laboratories, thus maximizing hardware and software
reuse. The FEP provides a computational interface between the GPS tracking system and
the display (operator) system.
The end product is a powerful, flexible, fully mobile testbed supporting RDT&E
requirements for Wright Laboratories, as well as to other U.S. and foreign research
organizations. The system is rapidly reconfigurable to accommodate ground-based
tracking systems as well as GPS-based systems, and its capabilities can be extended to
include support for mission planning tools, insertion of virtual participants such as DIS
entities, and detailed post-mission analysis.
