Launch and Test Range System (LTRS) Modernization
Abstract
The Eastern Range (ER) at Patrick Air Force Base (AFB)/Cape Canaveral Air Force Station, FL, and the Western Range (WR) at Vandenberg AFB, CA, make up the Spacelift Range System (SLRS), also known as the Launch and Test Range System (LTRS). The ER and WR provide tracking, telemetry, communications, flight safety, and other capabilities to enable: national security, civil, and commercial space launches, ballistic missile and missile defense test launches and aeronautical and guided weapons tests. Decreasing reliability of aging range systems leads to higher operations and maintenance costs and increased risk of launch delays. RDT&E funds are required to conduct architecture analysis to optimize investment planning to meet operational availability. This activity is categorized as Budget Activity 7, Operational Systems Development.
