Major Developmental Testing Instrumentation
Abstract
This project develops and acquires major test instrumentation to perform developmental testing of weapon systems at U. S. Army Test and Evaluation Command's (ATEC) Developmental Test Command (DTC) activities which include: Yuma Test Center (YTC), AZ; Aberdeen Test Center (ATC), MD; Electronic Proving Ground (EPG), AZ; White Sands Test Center (WSTC), NM; Redstone Test Center (RTC), AL. Projects are designated as a major test program based on their visibility, assessed relative technical risk (medium-high), schedule risk, cost (generally greater than $1 Million per year or $5 Million for the total project) and applicability to other mission areas or services. These projects are technically demanding, state-of-the-art, unique instrumentation assets or suites to meet the technology shortfalls, and generally result from development programs managed by a professional project management team. Fiber Optic Network II (FON II) is the installation of digital fiber optic cable and transmission electronics to modernize secure and expand the backbone telecommunication and data transmission network in support of Aberdeen Test Center. Systems Test and Integration Laboratory (STIL) is the development of a systems integration and test lab for use in developmental testing and integration engineering, including a virtual test environment to support integration testing of aviation electronic systems as a part of modernization of army aircraft. Advanced Distributed Modular Acquisition System (ADMAS) Product Improvement Program develops very small and low power pocket sized ADMAS systems which will extend the Versatile Information Systems Integrated Online system's (VISION) capabilities to support dismounted and small robotic platforms. . Range Radar Replacement Program (RRRP) will replace obsolete tracking radars at Redstone Test Center (RTC), Aberdeen Test Center (ATC), Electronic Proving Ground (EPG), White Sands Missile Range (WSMR) and Yuma Proving Ground (YPG) with modern instrumentation radars. Digital Network Migration (DNM) is the development of mobile assets for support of remote testing areas and linking instrumentation assets to Test Support Network and Cox Range Control Center (CRCC). Quantitative Visualization (QV) for Test and Evaluation is the development of QV integration models to enable rapid conversion of test data into visual representations. Mobile Multi-sensor Time-Space Position Information (TSPI) System (MMTS) is the development of a tracking system for weapons with low/flat trajectories and low radar cross sections. Common Range Integrated Instrumentation System (CRIIS) Rapid Prototype Initiative (RPI) will meet critical requirements to provide global positioning system (GPS) based Time, Space, Position, Information (TSPI) instrumentation to support the testing of a variety of platforms including advanced aircraft, ships, helicopters, Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs), Ground Vehicles and dismounted soldiers. Advanced Ballistic Data Acquisition develops capabilities that will permit Yuma Test Center (YTC) and Aberdeen Test Center (ATC) to test and generate safety releases for new systems being introduced by the on-going Army Transformation as part of the Precision Effort and testing of Interim and Legacy weapons. Common Range Integrated Instrumentation System (CRIIS) Objective Program provides precision location instrumentation which will significantly increase the T&E ranges' capability to meet the test instrumentation needs of the tri-service range users. Electromagnetic Environmental Effects (E3) Electromagnetic Radiation Effects (EMRE) Systems Modernization - This project will upgrade equipment at the WSMR Electromagnetic Radiation Effects (EMRE) site where Electromagnetic Environmental Effects (E3) testing is performed to evaluate survivability and vulnerability of military systems. Project will upgrade and replace signal transmitters, refurbish an anechoic test chamber, replace data acquisition equipment and install a new turntable to support test items.
