DEMONSTRATION AND SHAKEDOWN OPERATION PIGGYBACK KIT (DASOP).
Abstract
The Demonstration and Shakedown Operation Piggyback (DASOP) kit was conceived in order to obtain additional flight data during Titan II flights. The kit supplemented the normal Instrumentation and Range Safety System (IRSS) kit. It increased the possible data channel capability from 60 analog and 32 bi-level to 256 analog and 80 bi-level channels. The kit was also designed so that with a minimum of modifications, it could be utilized in other missiles. The DASOP kit, as flown, had the capability for obtaining all the common type measurements, such as pressure, current, voltage, temperature and bi-level (on-off) data. In addition, low pass filters were utilized to allow certain accelerometer data to be obtained. It can be concluded that the DASOP Kit resulted in completely satisfactory data with an overall data recovery percentage for the four DASOP flights of 98 percent. It was also proven that an instrumentation kit could be successfully designed, developed and installed on an accelerated time basis. (Author)
