Common Range Integrated Instrumentation System

Abstract

The Department of Defense has a critical need for enhanced test and evaluation (T&E) instrumentation to support advanced aircraft, avionics, and weapons system testing. The Common Range Integrated Instrumentation System (CRIIS) is a Tri-Service project that provides a family of capabilities to improve time-space-position information (TSPI) accuracy in low- to high-dynamic test environments and data link throughput capabilities using spectrally efficient data links. CRIIS participant packages will be highly miniaturized in both pod-mounted and internally-mounted configurations. CRIIS is highly dependent upon advanced technology development in the areas of high-accuracy TSPI and spectrally efficient, high throughput data transmission. CRIIS will replace the aging Advanced Range Data System (ARDS), which was developed in the mid-1980s, suffers from parts obsolescence, and is unable to provide the accuracy and data throughput required by advanced weapon systems.
