Flight termination system equipment. Volume 1: Antennas and antenna couplers

This document is the result of the efforts of the Flight Termination System Ad Hoc Committee of the Range Safety Group, Range Commanders Council. The Flight Termination System Equipment Catalog provides a ready reference to missile antennas and antenna couplers used at U.S. missile ranges and test facilities. Since use of each antenna/antenna coupler must be approved by the Range Commander with the in-flight range safety responsibility, inclusion in this catalog does not constitute sanction of such use nor approval for use on other missiles/space vehicles on the same range or on the same missile/space vehicle on other ranges. This catalog is not intended to be a comprehensive review of all flight termination antennas/antenna couplers available on the open market. The information contained in this publication has been provided by the manufacturer or extracted from manufacturers' specifications and is provided only as a guide. No conclusions are to be implied or assumed relative to the merits of one antenna/antenna coupler versus another. Where applicable, a history of the flight usage has been provided.
