6.0 SPECIFIC SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS
6.1 RANGE SYSTEMS
The Western Aeronautical Test Range (WATR, or "Range") consists of both ground-based range instrumentation and Mission Control and Data processing facilities. Range instrumentation includes Time Space Position Information (TSPI) systems (radar), telemetry tracking systems, long-range-optical trackers and video distribution, RF communications and ground audio systems, Flight Termination Systems Enhanced Flight Termination Systems, and Mobile video vans and telemetry trackers. The Mission Control Center (MCC) and data processing center provide both real-time and post-mission data processing as well as real-time data distribution and data monitoring capabilities. The WATR has a multi-mission capability (i.e., at least two missions can be supported simultaneously). There are two major and two auxiliary Mission Control Centers (MCC), three Telemetry and Radar Acquisition and Processing Systems (TRAPS), two radar's, three telemetry tracking systems, two sets of air-to-ground radio systems, a multi-vehicle Flight Termination System, two remote video vans, and one long-range-optical (LRO) trackers. A separate system provides flight data archival and data distribution to research engineers after the mission. Mobile telemetry trackers are provided on an as needed basis and are not used routinely. Configuration control of WATR systems is particularly important, not only because these systems are usually critical to the success of a mission, but to retain the integrity and flexibility of a true multi-mission capability.
On average, the WATR supports approximately 800 - 1000 operations a year, of which the majority (600-700) are real-time missions such as orbital tracking of the Space Shuttle and Space Station and flight support of a wide variety of research vehicles. The non-real-time missions include such things as data recaptures, MCC or data playbacks, and playbacks for checkout of configuration change requests.
6.1.1 General Requirements
The contractor shall provide personnel on-site at Dryden or Palmdale to perform hardware and software engineering, configuration control, mission operations and system maintenance for computer, audio, video, radar, and tracking systems. The WATR has unique mission requirements that may necessitate working personnel to provide 24-hour coverage, odd shifts, and/or weekends.

The contractor shall assure appropriate representation at WATR meetings including, but not limited to, the following:




  • Critical Design Reviews (CDR)

  • Preliminary Design Reviews (PDR)

  • Status meetings

  • WATR Configuration Control Board (CCB)

  • Informal or formal team meetings

The contractor shall provide an environment for close cooperation between functional areas including engineering, operations and technical disciplines.


6.1.1.1 Operations
The contractor shall adhere to all established NASA and Dryden policies and Standard Operating Procedures (SOP) during all phases of mission support.
The contractor shall use Business Information Tracking System (BITS) to schedule WATR systems for real-time and post-mission support.
