system will be capable of receiving and recording VHF PCM/FM/FM and VHF
PCM/FM from 600,000 ft thru impact.
to receive and record thru impact.
A telemetry aircraft may be required
The telemetry antenna will be used
as the acquisition aid for the radar.
6.6
TIMING
A timing center will be required for radar and other data information
such as the required time correlation between the telemetry and radar data.
An Atomic Clock will be included in the timing center and will be used
to synchronize the timing codes.
This timing center will provide IRIG
Standard Time Code Formats A, B, and C (Reference IRIG Document 104-60).
It is assumed that all timing requirements will conform to the IRIG
Standards when this instrumentation complex becomes operational.

OPERATIONS CONTROL CENTER
The Operations Control Center is the nerve center of the instrumentation
complex.
made.
Here all of the required data are displayed and all decisions are
Included in the Operations Control Center will be a minimum of three
plotting boards and real-time telemetry displays.
The plotting boards
are for real-time display of analog and digital present position and
impact prediction data.
The real-time telemetry displays would be used
primarily for range safety purposes.
Roll, pitch, yaw, etc. will be
displayed in real-time.

COMMAND CONTROL
Although the Command Control System is not required to support the
Advanced Minuteman Program, this system would be required for future
programs, such as the Maneuverable
Ballistic Re-entry Vehicles (MERV).
This system is required for a basic terminal area instrumentation
