THE ACCURACY OF ETR INSTRUMENTATION

Abstract

The annual summary statements of the accuracy of Eastern Test Range Tracking Instrumentation are presented. The statements are based on studies conducted by RCA Systems Analysis. The report also provides brief system descriptions and a detailed discussion of the definition of errors encountered in tracking system evaluations, methods and techniques used to estimate errors, error sources, specific ETR methodologies including data analysis flow diagrams and a discussion of the variance - covariance error propagation required to determine the accuracy of reduced position, velocity and acceleration data. Work on the determination of instrumentation accuracy is a continuing project and revisions and refinements to the estimates of accuracy are issued periodically as additional information is made available.
