| Summary: | ITC/USA 2006 Conference Proceedings / The Forty-Second Annual International Telemetering Conference and Technical Exhibition / October 23-26, 2006 / Town and Country Resort & Convention Center, San Diego, California === The purpose of the Personnel/Equipment Tracking System (P/ETS) is to
provide ground safety and real-time surveillance awareness of all personnel
and equipment authorized entry to the Edwards AFB Precision Impact
Bombing and Laser Test Ranges. This includes multiple hazardous sites
within an area that encompasses approximately 140 square miles. The P/ETS
utilizes an off-the-shelf Global Positioning System (GPSFlight) which
provides full-time tracking and display of all on-board transmitter-equipped
elements. A line-of-sight wireless-to-fiber network system is employed to
acquire and transport positional data to display systems within the range
safety control tower. Utilization of P/ETS has indicated accurate tracking
display in real time, particular advantages for night time operations,
prevention of hazardous area intrusion, and relocation of miss-oriented
personnel. This system is an economical solution for meeting the ground
safety requirements within the confines of the Precision Impact Bombing
and Laser Test Ranges. |
