Telemetry Integrated Processing System operational overview
Abstract
The Telemetry Integrated Processing System (TIPS) at the U.S. Air Force Western Space and Missile Center (WSMC), Vandenberg AFB, CA, is a large- scale, computer-based, telemetry decommutation and data-processing system. This system is utilized to process telemetry data from numerous missile and aircraft programs supported at the WSMC. This paper presents an overview of the operational system as it exists today. Hardware and software components are discussed. A presentation of the standard no-development-cost features available to range users is made. A summary of the current missile/aircraft telemetry systems that must be supported is included along with some of the special processing developed for these systems.
