Instrumentation Development Investigation of Command and Control Console.
Abstract
This investigation describes the hardware and operating system for a prototype command and control system for controlling a single aircraft, live-firing test on the U.S. Army Yuma Proving Ground Cibola and Aircraft Armament Ranges. The report also includes the results of a systems analysis which recommended the configuration of the console and general design of the operating system described. This prototype was and continues to be a primary learning vehicle for proving ground range control developments. The primary emphasis was controlling a single test on the Cibola Aircraft Armament Range. Utilization of currently available facilities, rapid implementation, low cost, adaptability to the final system and ease of use by appropriate personnel were further considerations. Aircraft Armament Project officers were interviewed to determine requirements for support of current testing. The hardware for this system was acquired using funds from this instrumentation development project. Software was developed under the above associated Methodology Improvement Investigation.
