Test Procedures and Test Report for the Target Position Logger-Reporter

Abstract

The Target Position Logger-Reporter (TPLR) is a US Army Combat Capabilities Development Command Army Research Laboratory developmental item designed to log the GPS position of targets. The TPLR is typically used to record the real-time position of mobile targets for the purpose of evaluating sensor performance after the sensor testing event is completed. Default operation of the TPLR is enabled by simply switching the TPLR on. Additional user-selectable options are available in the TPLR's built-in menu system, which is accessible via common terminal emulation programs. This test report evaluates each specified requirement through inspection, analysis, demonstration, or test. Test results capture the initial findings, failures, implementation issues, and the results of any required regression testing. This test report concludes that the TPLR, with the final version of firmware installed, met all specified functional requirements and is suitable for its intended application by end users. Finally, this test report recommends that TPLR performance from a user perspective be evaluated after the TPLR has been in service for at least 1 year.
