1. Confidentiality All information included in this Statement of Work (SOW) is confidential and only for the recipient knowledge. No information included in this document or in discussions connected to it may be disclosed to any other party.

2. Scope of Work This is the Statement of Work for a Best Source Selector (BSS) to be installed at the NASA Armstrong Flight Research Center (AFRC) Dryden Aeronautical Test Range (DATR) Aeronautical Tracking Facility (ATF). The BSS source will take in multiple telemetered Radio Frequency (RF) Data sources and provide the best source as an output to be used by other Range hardware as an input.

2.1. Current System

The DATR currently has five RF telemetry receiving systems. This includes three fixed systems and two mobile systems. Each system can be assigned one or more (8 available) telemetry receivers. The data sources are received and routed at the ATF site. The primary and backup lines from the scheduled RF telemetry receiving system are routed by ATF personnel to the Telemetry and Radar Acquisition Processing System (TRAPS) for processing to the Mission Control Center (MCC) located in B4800.

Figure 1

19 November 2020 2

2.2. Problem Statement

The primary RF telemetry systems consists of two fixed position antennas. These antennas are located at the ATF site and provide coverage of the Edwards runways and 360-degree tracking of airborne targets. Building and hangars have obstructed portions of the NASA ramp and taxiways, causing RF signal distortion, also known as multipath. The signal distortion directly relates to telemetry data quality and drop outs.

The Rooftop telemetry system located on building 4800 provided coverage of the NASA ramp and taxiways. The Rooftop telemetry system was no longer able to be safely maintained and was decommissioned. To fill the coverage that the Rooftop telemetry system provided, the fixed position Remote Telemetry Acquisition System (RTAS) was developed and installed on building 4800.

The Range has purchased a new mobile system, Mobile Operations Facility (MOF) 3 and is the process of installing another fixed telemetry system on building 703 in Palmdale. It is anticipated that these two systems, in additionto the existing fixed telemetry assets will be used to provide RF telemetry coverage for the Low Boom Flight Demonstrator (LBFD) project. The current system requires that a user makes a visual determination as to the current best source and the manually switch in this source.

As the best source can change due to aircraft position, obstructions, hardware failures and any myriad of reasons, the source needs to be visually monitored and manually patched by the TRAPS operator. This results in additional work load for the TRAPS operator and is subjective as to the best source and during source transition data will be lost.

3. System Goals and Objectives The goal of the BSS is to improve the quality of telemetered data displayed and processed in the MCC. The objective of the BSS is to accomplish this goal using an automated process using proven architecture that adheres to IRIG 106 standards without the need to add additional personnel resources.

3.1. System Overview

A BSS will be installed that will accept inputs from multiple RF telemetry receiving systems and provide the best sources with time correlation as outputs. This system will adhere to Inter Range Instrumentation Group (IRIG) 106-19 Chapter 2 standards.

3.2. System Operational Scenarios

3.2.1. Nominal Operational Scenario

A nominal operational scenario is an aircraft on the NASA Ramp using three telemetry systems. The telemetry data will be received by the RTAS system location at B4800, one of the fixed position telemetry systems located at B4982 and one mobile telemetry system located at Pad 21.

This telemetered data will be sent to the BSS and the BSS will determine the best source and provide data as an input to the Apogee Lab multiplexor. As the aircraft taxis the BSS will continue to evaluate the best source between RTAS, the fixed position antenna and the mobile system antenna.

As the aircraft becomes airborne the BSS will continue to evaluate the best source between the fixed position antenna and the mobile system antenna. The best source will be processed at the TRAPS for display in the MCC. When the aircraft is RTB the BSS will evaluate the best source between the fixed position antenna and the mobile system antenna.

When the aircraft taxis back to the NASA Ramp the BSS will evaluate the best source between the fixed position antenna, the mobile system antenna and RTAS. The best source will be processed at the TRAPS for display in the MCC.

19 November 2020 4

3.2.2. Project Specific Scenario

A project specific scenario is the LBFD aircraft at Palmdale using three telemetry systems. The telemetry data will be received by the B703 fixed system located on B703, the MOF-3 mobile telemetry system located at Palmdale and the fixed position telemetry system located at B4982.

This telemetered data will be sent to the BSS and the BSS will determine the best source and provide data as an input to the Apogee Lab multiplexor. As the aircraft taxis and takes flight the BSS will continue to evaluate the best source between B703, MOF-3 and the fixed position antenna. The best source will be processed at the TRAPS for display in the MCC.

(i) Taxes are considered delinquent if both of the following criteria apply:

(A) The tax liability is finally determined. The liability is finally determined if it has been assessed. A liability is not finally determined if there is a pending administrative or judicial challenge. In the case of a judicial challenge to the liability, the liability is not finally determined until all judicial appeal rights have been exhausted.

(B) The taxpayer is delinquent in making payment. A taxpayer is delinquent if the taxpayer has failed to pay the tax liability when full payment was due and required. A taxpayer is not delinquent in cases where enforced collection action is precluded.

(ii) Examples.

(A) The taxpayer has received a statutory notice of deficiency, under I.R.C. §6212, which entitles the taxpayer to seek Tax Court review of a proposed tax deficiency.

In the course of the hearing, the taxpayer is entitled to contest the underlying tax liability because the taxpayer has had no prior opportunity to contest the liability. This is not a delinquent tax because it is not a final tax liability. Should the taxpayer seek tax court review, this will not be a final tax liability until the taxpayer has exercised all judicial appeal rights.

(C) The taxpayer has entered into an installment agreement pursuant to I.R.C. §6159. The taxpayer is making timely payments and is in full compliance with the agreement terms.

The taxpayer is not delinquent because the taxpayer is not currently required to make full payment.

(D) The taxpayer has filed for bankruptcy protection. The taxpayer is not delinquent because enforced collection action is stayed under 11 U.S.C. §362 (the Bankruptcy Code).
