Performance Test Requirements for the Discrete Address Beacon System (DABS) Engineering Models.

Abstract

Technical requirements for Performance Testing of the Discrete Address Beacon System (DABS) at NAFEC are presented. The technical requirements are specified in terms of test objectives for DABS single site and multisite performance tests. The objectives are organized into the following test stages: Surveillance, Communications, Failure/Recovery Modes, Capacity/Response Time, and Functional Reliability and Maintainability. Specific objectives for the various tests within each of these stages are described. The accomplishment of the test objectives will provide the basis for an analysis of DABS technical performance at a functional level. The tasks which comprise the test program are described and basic organizational responsibilities are defined. The documentation to plan and report the Performance Tests are described. A schedule depicting DABS availability for the Performance Tests and the schedule requirements for the documentation are presented in the Appendix. (Author)
