ATTACHMENT 6 : TECHNICAL INSTRUMENTATION, EQUIPMENT, AND FACILITIES

1. RADAR CAPABILITIES. Examples of radar systems at WSMR include:

Ten (10) FPS-16 single-tracking, pulsed C-band instrumentation radars (1 Gov / 9 Ktr)

Three (3) MPS-39 multiple-object tracking, pulsed C-band instrumentation radars (3 Gov)

One (1) 240W Weibel, X-band CW/Doppler radar set (1 Gov) Two (2) 120W Weibel, X-band/Doppler radars on optics platforms/KTMs (2 Ktr)

The Government initiated a plan to upgrade four (4) existing FPS-16 (legacy) radar sets to single-tracking, pulsed C-band instruments called the Radar Useful Life Extension (RULE). The Contractor shall participate in vendor-provided training, installation, and integration of these units into the existing radar architecture on the Range.

During the term of this contract, the Army intends on introducing new radar systems to various test ranges using the Range Radar Replacement Program. Currently dual-purpose radar crews perform both operations and maintenance of equipment in the field. The future Concept of Operations for radar support transitions to a method by which a centralized group of operators provide remote mission execution services and a separate maintenance team provides field maintenance as necessary.

3. TELEMETRY CAPABILITIES. Examples of Telemetry instrumentation at WSMR include:

3.1. Fixed Telemetry Acquisition Systems (TAS). Fixed Telemetry systems require three operating personnel per unit. Utilizing various tracking modes, the TAS tracks IRIG specified data formats transmitted from a target vehicle. WSMR has three TAS units located strategically atop mountains peaks requiring additional drive time prior to set up and operation.

24ft E-scan tracker systems with the capability of, but not limited to, eight downlinks Jig-67 – This site has the capability of relaying two (2) downlinks from remote locations to the TDC Jig-10 – This site has the capability of relaying one (1) downlink from remote locations to the TDC 8ft E-scan tracker system, with the capability of, but not limited to, four downlinks

Jig-167 Jig-56 (remote controlled)

3.2. Mobile Telemetry Systems (MTS). Mobile systems require two operating personnel per unit. Utilizing various tracking modes, the MTS tracks IRIG specified data formats transmitted from a target vehicle. Given the mobile nature of the MTS, the location and operational requirements predicate the set up time. Generally, system setup requires three (3) hours with an additional hour performing system checkouts and validations prior to the first operational requirement.

MTS-2

MTS-3 (remote controlled)

MTS-4

3.3. Remote Data Acquisition Systems (RDAS). RDAS is a passive interferometry system that uses the telemetry carrier frequency to provide vehicle position in relation to the launcher. Flight Safety often uses RDAS to monitor anomalies in the early stages of the missile launch. Phase differences acquired from this system convert to digital (2^11 bits) format for transmission to Real Time Data Processing System (RTDPS). Real-time data displays include the angular deviation from a nominal flight path. The system requires two (2) vans with two (2) personnel per van.

RDAS-Y

RDAS-X

3.4. White Sands – Transportable Telemetry Systems (WS-TTS). Mobile systems require two operating personnel per unit due to the unique nature of these systems and the extensive coordination and logistics necessary to transport the system. Utilizing various tracking modes, the TTS tracks IRIG specified data formats transmitted from a target vehicle. Since the units are transportable, location and operational requirements predicate setup time. Generally, two of the systems are semi-fixed in designated locations at WSMR for which additional travel time adds to the hour checkout required prior to the first requirement.
