The Raytheon Ktech Field Test Department provides true end to end mission support when it comes to telemetry. Typical pre-mission support activities including: mission planning, equipment development, fabrication, and integration, pre-mission ground and flight testing, and professional representation in pre-mission planning meetings.
Our mission support is second to none; our engineering staff not only develops specifications, builds, and integrates equipment for telemetry operations, they deploy and operate it too. Our staff understands our deployed systems from baseline theory to the nuts and bolts and troubleshooting techniques needed to be completely confident in even the most critical moments of each test or mission event.
Support does not end when the mission is over; the Field Test Department continues to support your mission long after the test or launch is complete. Our team produces, verifies, and delivers data products and mission logs. In addition to this, we analyze data from each flight test to provide quality of support metrics.
We support customer requirements in telemetry data collection, recording, real-time processing, and real-time relay, as well as flight termination, communications relay, and range clearance. We offer truly worldwide support, fast response times, and we strive to remain flexible to support the ever changing mission requirements and timelines common in the telemetry arena.
Field Test is capable of worldwide deployment and support of a plethora of airborne, ground mobile, and sea based assets ranging from 1m to as large as 4.5m auto-tracking telemetry assets in L, S, or C band as required. Our high dynamic pedestal systems and available cryogenically cooled feed systems truly set us apart from the competition in terms of tracking dynamics in harsh conditions and overall sensitivity and collection capability. Also, with Field Test, we offer a true ‘one stop shop’, where a single contract or purchase order covers your entire end to end mission support scenario – leave the subcontracting for ships, aircraft, ground pad leasing, and international travel to us and eliminate the hassle for you!
