Preliminary Approach for Developing an ATALARS Proof of Concept Model. Phase I Small Business Innovative Research (SBIR) Topic AF 89-031. Contract F19628-89-C-0800.

摘要

This report documents the results of a study conducted for the purpose of developing a preliminary implementation approach, utilizing planned or existing systems, for a proof of concept demonstration of the Automated Tactical Aircraft Launch and Recovery System (ATALARS). The basis for the ATALARS concept was derived from the system presented in ESD-TR-86-259, and from the system configuration described in the Final Report by Airspace Technology Corp. under SBIR Contract F19628-87-C-0195. This report reviews the basic ATALARS system concept and the technologies applicable to a full capability system configuration. The full up system configuration was evaluated to determine which elements, considered critical to the basic ATALARS system concept, could be implemented in a proof of concept (POC) model. Based on the study, it was determined that the POC model should address: (1) the Processing and Display (PD) and (2) Network Control Functions (NCF). The study describes the basic features of the PD and NCF to be incorporated into the POC model and preliminary definition of the system configuration.
