A-7 Aloft Demonstration Flight Test Plan

Abstract

The purpose of this plan is to provide a comprehensive description of the Airborne Light Optical Fiber Technology (ALOFT) Demonstration Flight Test Program to be conducted by the Naval Weapons Center (NWC), China Lake, California. The objective of the test program is to demonstrate the feasibility of utilizing a fiber-optical transmission system as a means of interfacing aircraft avionics systems, using an A-7C aircraft as the test bed. The NWC flight test plan provides general and specific information pertaining to the manner in which NWC will accomplish its assigned tasks. This plan is promulgated in response to and forms a part of the Naval Electronics Laboratory Center (NELC) ALOFT Demonstration Test Plan.
