The Challenges of C-Band Missile Telemetry

Miniature Telemetry System for the Compact Kinetic Energy Missile

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 ...

Analysing Missile Telemetry Data with the Generic Telemetry Viewer and the Whiteboard Viewer

The analysis of missile telemetry data from live or simulated firings has traditionally been a time consuming and complex task. Missile telemetry data can consist of over a thousand channels, and data files can be hundreds of megabytes. Hundreds of runs can be performed in a single day of testing, resulting in an information overload for the analyst. The Generic Telemetry Viewer (GTV) and White...

Error Separation Techniques Based on Telemetry and Tracking Data for Ballistic Missile

Results of the Uhf Telemetry System R&d Flight Tests at White Sands Missile Range

This paper describes results of UHF telemetry R&D tests conducted at White Sands Missile Range (WSMR), New Mexico. UHF telemetry problems, such as multipath and target scintillation, are discussed. Several recommendations which may improve the reliability of telemetry data transmission at UHF frequencies are made based on experience and data gained from many UHF telemetry tracking operations.

Telemetry Re-radiation System

Enclosed weapon bays on modern aircraft interfere with prelaunch, Flight Termination System verification during training test launches. Range safety personnel need to verify the functionality of the flight termination system prior to missile launch. The missile telemetry RF is highly attenuated when the aircraft missile bay doors are closed, limiting the range for which the aircraft can fly dur...
