Preliminary Approach for Developing an ATALARS Proof of Concept Model

Abstract

This report documents the results of a study conducted for the purpose of developing a preliminary implementation approach, utilizing planned or existing systems, for a proof of concept demonstration of the Automated Tactical Aircraft Launch and Recovery System (ATALARS). The basis for the ATALARS concept was derived from the system presented in ESD-TR-86-259, and from the system configuration described in the Final Report by Airspace Technology Corp. under SBIR Contract F19628-87-C-0195. This report reviews the basic ATALARS system concept and the technologies applicable to a full capability system configuration. The full up system configuration was evaluated to determine which elements, considered critical to the basic ATALARS system concept, could be implemented in a proof of concept (POC) model. Based on the study, it was determined that the POC model should address: (1) the Processing and Display (P&D) and (2) Network Control Functions (NCF). The study describes the basic features of the P&D and NCF to be incorporated into the POC model and preliminary definition of the system configuration. (rwj)
