Telemetry Environment Simulator (TES)

Test Telemetry Systems in Preparation for High-Value Target Engagements

 

CDSI’s TES is designed to test Telemetry Systems in preparation for high-value target engagements. The TES combines the input antenna position with the synthetic target scenario to produce analog AM & AGC signals that are then fed to the ACU via the same analog inputs used by the receivers. TES is an excellent way to test end-to-end ACU/pedestal operation as it is transparent to the antenna system. Used as part of an Acceptance Test, Operational Maintenance, operator training, or pre-qualification before a critical mission.
