Non-Line-of Sight Positioning Systems for Use in United States Army Operational Test and Evaluation Functions.
Abstract
In performing operational test and evaluation functions, the U.S. Army has a real need for a good position determing system. Operational tests are used to evaluate new fighting concepts, in what are usually referred to as 'war games'. This kind of testing involves a large number of players over a large area. For a good evaluation of the test, a method of determining and displaying the positions of all, or selected, test elements is essential. The U.S. Army has purchased two positioning systems, the Position Reporting and Recording System/Automatic Data Collection System (PRRS/ADCS) and the Range Measuring System-2/Data Distribution System (RMS-2/DDS), which were both specially developed for Army operational testing. To decide which of these positioning systems would give the better performance for a new operational testing site, a qualitative comparison of the operational performance of these systems is needed. The report makes that comparison.
