Abstract
The nature of telemetry often requires operators to be on location with receive system(s) or remote consoles, resulting in costly TDY and possibly a shortage of operators to support all scheduled events. To mitigate these issues, the Test Resource Management Center (TRMC) has developed a remote-control capability (along with centralized data collection) to eliminate existing personnel requirements at both locations, greatly reducing operational costs and providing real-time insight to system status. The TRMC’s Joint Mission Environment Test Capability (JMETC) is a distributed LVC capability using a hybrid network solution for all classifications and cyber, and the Test and Training Enabling Architecture (TENA) is the middleware selected for use in JMETC Secret Network (JSN) events. TENA provides for real-time system interoperability, as well as interfacing existing range assets, C4ISR systems, and simulations - fostering reuse of range assets and future software systems. These capabilities allow the most efficient use of current and future TM range resources via range resource integration, critical to validate system performance in a highly cost-effective manner. This presentation will inform the audience as to the current impact of TRMC capabilities on the T&E community; as well as their expected future benefits to the range community and warfighters.
