The U.S. Army’s recent successful hypersonic missile test at the Pacific Missile Range Facility in Hawaii, part of a joint development program with the U.S. Navy, marks a significant milestone in advancing this cutting-edge technology towards operational deployment. Hypersonic missiles, traveling faster than Mach 5, are crucial for future strategic capabilities. Despite earlier setbacks, the program is progressing with the goal of deploying the first units soon. Delta Telemetry Systems (DTS) supports these critical tests, providing real-time range support and data processing, ensuring precision and reliability in this groundbreaking advancement.
Our Acroamatics Ground Station Telemetry Data Processors (TDPs) are at the forefront, providing real-time range support that is vital for the accuracy and reliability of every test. These TDPs are integral to the operations at the Pacific Missile Range Facility (PMRF), ensuring seamless data processing and analysis during each phase of the test.
In addition to our TDPs, Wideband’s Recorders, TCS’s Tracking Antennas, and GDP’s Gateways and Best Source Selectors (BSSs) are all hard at work. These advanced systems gather and process critical range data, ensuring real-time range safety and supporting control room operations. Post-test, the telemetry data collected by our Wideband Recorders is distributed and analyzed, providing invaluable insights that drive future innovations.
From tracking and recording to real-time data processing and post-operation analysis, Delta Telemetry Systems’ technology is embedded throughout these crucial tests, ensuring that every detail is captured with precision. As the Army moves closer to fielding hypersonic capabilities, Delta Telemetry Systems remains committed to providing the telemetry solutions that make it all possible.
We’re proud to be everywhere they need us, delivering the reliability and performance that our military partners count on.
