The WSMR Timing System: Toward New Horizons

William A. Gilbert, Bob Stimets

Abstract:	In 1991, White Sands Missile Range (WSMR) initiated a modernization program for its Range Timing System. The main focus of this modernization program was to develop a system that was highly accurate, easy to maintain, and portable. The logical decision at the time was to develop a system based solely on Global Positioning System (GPS) technology. Since that time, WSMR has changed its philosophy on how GPS would be utilized for the Timing System. This paper will describe WSMR's initial modernization plans for its Range Timing System and how certain events have led to a modification of these plans.
