Differential GPS: an Enabling Technology for Domestic and International Program Test and Evaluation Applications

Don Hill, Keith Wallace, Bill Negast

Abstract:	Advanced airborne technology has been the subject of ongoing programs at Wright Laboratory for several years. Throughout these programs, researchers recognized early on a need to maximize control over as many variables as possible during airborne research and development activities. Ground-based multilateration systems such as the Air Combat Maneuvering Instrumentation (ACMI) and Red Flag Measurement and Debriefing System (RFMDS) have provided the necessary data to support these tests; however, due to a requirement by these systems for large amounts of system hardware (microwave towers, downlink stations, etc.) located at permanent installations, the geographical area available for testing is limited and overall system reliability less than desired.
