• BCSS Capabilities Summary

– Script Generation

• Text‐to‐speech

- English

• Recording/playback of WAV files

- Any Language

– Scenario Scheduling

– Simple And Complex Modulations

– Pre‐programmed Scenarios Or Real‐time Emissions

– User Controlled Or Scenario Driven RF Generation

• BCSS Design Overview

– Design Assumptions

• Power Requirements

– 120 VAC @ 30 Amps will be available in room 127 of

Belle Fourche ESS for the rack assembly

• Single‐Service NEMA L5‐30 Receptacle

– 120 VAC @ 15 Amps will be available in room 125B of

Belle Fourche ESS for the laptop

• Standard Wall Outlet

– Design Assumptions

• The BCSS 19” rack‐mount equipment and antennas will be permanently installed

• The BCSS computer equipment will not initially be integrated into existing Local Area Networks

- BCSS will be controlled remotely via IP network, but will be “stand‐alone” capability.

• GPS input/SW will be required for logging purposes

RF Paths

• High Frequency (HF) Antenna

– Hi‐Q‐6 2/30 RT MC‐4

• w/Stepper Controller SW

– Hi‐Q SS whip

– 18‐25' Mast

– LDF‐4 Cabling

HP-3512

• Very‐High Frequency/Ultra‐High Frequency (VHF/UHF)

– Antenna Locations

• Mount ground Plane on top of white building with HP‐5250, HP‐3512, and GPS antennas mounted on it.

– HP‐3512 (VHF/UHF)

– HP‐5250 (UHF)

– Garmin‐18 GPS receiver

– RF Cabling

• Utilize LDF‐4

HP-5250

GPS-18

• GPS Installation

– GPS required to time synchronize the scripter software to run scenarios

– Vehicular‐Based BCSS uses Garmin‐18 GPS receiver and SW

• NAVAIR recommends utilizing the Garmin‐18 for the fixed‐ site BCSS Installation.
