The CTEIP Program

• Established in FY90 (Congressionally founded)
• Funds acquisition of high-priority multi-Service
  TE capabilities, applying state-of-the-art
  technologies
• Managed by OSD DOTE/Systems and Test Resources
• Added responsibility for resourcing near-term
  OTE shortfall efforts in FY91
• Leverages Service/Defense Agency TE investments
• Funding historically near 125M/year
• Have multi-Service application
• Be developmental
• Be non-procurement

Joint Advanced Missile Instrumentation

• Integrated instrumentation package for small
  missile platforms
• Will eliminate the need for range specific or
  multi-system facilities
• JAMI components will provide
• Telemetry
• Dual/Tri-Band Antennas
• Time-Space-Position-Information
• Track high-dynamic targets and missiles that fly
  below the radar horizon
• Flight Termination
• Miniature, dual-redundant flight termination
  hardware
• End Game Scoring
• Data to determine lethality performance for
  missile-target intercept.

Network Enhanced Telemetry
Integrated Network Enhanced Telemetry Study

• iNET Study Products
• Determine needs of RF TM network
• Provide a network architecture
• Integrate ground and test article networks
• Uses spectrum as a pooled resource
• Define a technology investment roadmap
• Driver Limited spectrum for TE
• iNET introduces a network approach to move the
  bulk of TM data traditional PCM TM retained for
  safety of life/flight
