Specifications for Drone/RPV Instrumentation at the Hill/Wendover/Dugway Ranges
Abstract:
This report evaluates the compatibility of a proposed HAMOTS High Accuracy Multiple Object Tracking System for a multiple droneRPV test range in the HillWendoverDugway area with the proposed mid-term Continental Operations Range COR. The following documentation was reviewed 1 Position Location Display System Specification, 2 System Software Specifications, 3 Timing Network Specifications, 4 Pointing Data Network Specifications, 5 Facilities Requirements, 6 Activation Plan. Under the premise that this system is implemented prior to initiation of Mid-Term COR development in the Hill WendoverDugway area, there is nothing that has been found in these specifications that would represent a major stumbling block to utilization of the system as part of Mid-Term COR in that area. The HAMOTS with its computer displays and software, along with the telemetry system and the pointing data system should be viewed as a single instrumentation system for purposes of Mid- Term COR planning.
