A Status Report of the Joint Advanced Missile Instrumentation Program An Office of the Secretary of Defense Central Test and Evaluation Investment Program Initiative

摘要

Joint Advanced Missile Instrumentation (JAMI), a 1997 new-start multi-year Central Test and Evaluation Investment program (CTEIP), is developing advanced telemetry system components that can be used in an integrated instrumentation package for tri-service small missile test and traning applications. JAMI will provide telemetry, Time-Space-Position Information (TSPI), flight termination and end-game vector scoring in a low cost, modular package that will allow world-wide test and training- eliminating, in most cases, the need for range-specific (or multi-system) facilities. JAMI will incorporate Global Positioning System (GPS)-based technology as the TSPI and vector scoring engine, and address the feasibility of a solid state programmable safe and arm. This paper discusses the progress of the program duirng hte Test Technology Development and Demonstration (TTD&D) phase and the efforts planned for fiscal year 1999. Preliminary testing of GPS receivers and conformal GPS antennas on missile platforms are discussed.
