CTEIP Efforts in Target and Ranges EnRAP - Enhanced Range Applications Project MSTCS - Multi-Service Target Control System JAMI- Joint Advanced Missile Instrumentation iNET - Integrated Network Enhanced Telemetry Study

Enhanced Range Applications Project This slide should be a picture(s) or an illustration that depicts and / or illustrates the project. GPS EnRAP Ground System EnRAP RANGE INSTRUMENTATION Tethered Remote Rangeless Relay Encrypted or Unencrypted Links Participants are equipped with internal mounts or pods EnRAP provides order of magnitude improvement in GPS- based TSPI (and an upgraded DL) over ARDS (which is used at number of ranges including Edwards, Pt Mugu, China Lake, PAX, WSMR) Enhancement comes from ring laser gyro-based IMU (tightly coupled) over ARDS mech gyro Smaller components allow use in volumetrically constrained platforms – F/A18E/F, smaller internal mount F-22, JSF small internal mount, meets stealth requirements

Multi-Service Target Control System Target Control Description MSTCS provides upgrades and enhancements to the existing TCS at Tyndall/Eglin, WSMR, & Pt Mugu Tyndall/ Eglin: Get 0ff 915MHz with Dev & integ of 1350-1390 MHz Datalink transceiver – transitions from multi lat GRDCS to GPS target control-based WSMR: New Ground Station Command Processor, the USAF dev 1350-1390 transceiver (gets them off Multilat DFCS to GPS), also integrates existing Army developed, low cost UHF datalink Pt Mugu: Upgraded 4.4-4.8GHz C-band transceiver that transitions from multi lat ITCS to GPS based target control, and redesigned (simplified) antenna pedestal

Joint Advanced Missile Instrumentation Integrated instrumentation package for small missile platforms Will eliminate the need for range specific or multi-system facilities JAMI components will provide: Telemetry Dual/Tri-Band Antennas Time-Space-Position-Information Track high-dynamic targets and missiles that fly below the radar horizon Flight Termination Miniature, dual-redundant flight termination hardware End Game Scoring Data to determine lethality performance for missile-target intercept. Allows placement of GPS based instrumentation in small missiles: AMRAAM, AIM 9X, gets out of Multi lat Allows OTH test ops with single relay aircraft–thru GPS based instr Provides miniturized flight termination recvr WRT Enhanced Flt Term Sys (EFTS CTEIP funded at Edwards): AMRAAM for C-7 testing will use JAMI FTS (current analog tone system). EFTS IOC aspprox FY-7-08 End game scoring – Was Threshold reqmt; now moved to objective requirement Currently used in Tomahwak

JAMI Deliverable Hardware JTU-I TOMAHAWK JTU-T FTR FTR: Flt Termination Recvr – Adapted miniturized commercial unit, qualified for use on Tomahawk, AMRAAM FTS&A – JAMI developed under CRADA with Raymond Engr, replaces elctro-mechanical S&A with all electronic, smaller & more reliable unit Tomahawk JTU-T – JAMI devloped, receiver based TSPI unit has IMU but not used,- Tomahawk no longer needs radars – range free JTU-I – JTU-T with active IMU but not coupled with receiver – for target and low dynamic missile TSPI – has potential for end game scoring- need SW development GSU-II V2 – GPS Sensor Unit innovative hybrid (Recvr/translator) based, in development, looking good for 40+ g environment – biggest (hardest) part of JAMI effort JTU-II – integrates GSU-II V2 to be used in AMRAAM C-7 AIU FTS&A GSU-II V2 JTU-II
