Flight Termination Systems Commonality Standard
Abstract
This document presents the results of Task RS-63 assigned to the Range Safety Group/Flight Termination Systems Committee to update Range Commanders Council (RCC) Document 319, Flight Termination Systems Commonality Standard. This standard has been written to conform to the intent of a guide specification per Defense Standardization Program SD-15. The intent of the format is to levy performance requirements, allow the range user flexibility to develop innovative technical solutions, and simultaneously ensure adequate detail for contractual enforcement. The format includes performance requirements in plain text with text boxes placed directly after each performance requirement. Text boxes present recommended solutions that reflect the standard practice and lessons learned and are tailored for each unique application. Once tailored, these text boxes become mandatory, contractually enforceable requirements. In an effort to establish a set of common design and testing requirements for programs operating from or on multiple ranges, several key organizations have worked together and set forth this standard to assist the range users in the determination of flight termination system (FTS) design and test requirements. These organizations include the major Department of Defense (DoD) test ranges, Department of Energy (DOE), Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), and National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) launch and test facilities.
