STATEMENT OF OBJECTIVES

US Space Force FieldFox Network Analyzer for Buckley SFB Navigational Aids Current as of 25 Jan 25

1. SCOPE:

The Buckley Space Force Base Radar, Airfield & Weather Systems (RAWS) requires a N9913C Network Analyzer to perform specialized maintenance on the Instrument Landing System (ILS). The ILS requires a flight inspection performed by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) conducted every eighteen months. During flight inspections certain parameters must be measured and adjusted to maintain FAA certification. These include reflected radio frequency (RF) measurements along with cable phasing measurements. During the phasing measurements cables need to be cut to precise lengths. Currently the only device that can make this measurement vector voltmeter application loaded on the N9913C Fieldfox analyzer.

The ILS allows for flight operations during the hours of darkness and all-weather situations. The system provides horizontal and vertical information staring 18 nautical miles and with this information aircraft can fly with precision down to 250 ft above the runway threshold. Without the use of the ILS flight safety would be in jeopardy.
