Abstract:

Effective range safety control of weapon tests on the Eglin range requires that all systems used for control be in a state of operational readiness prior to each mission. Current and future range safety control systems for the Eglin range were investigated in this study, and recommendations were made for pre-test diagnostics. Elements of the real-time range safety control complex considered include tracking, communication, telemetry, computer, display, flight termination, command and control systems and data links. range safety control complex considered include tracking, communication, telemetry, computer, display, flight termination, command and control systems and data links. and computer codes in developing the ricochet safety criteria.
