Description (continued):
program, using preliminary RMA data to prioritize an extensive backlog of sustainment actions. They included, but were not limited to:
continuing integration and testing of data/communications systems; continuing replacement of command destruct transmitters; replacing analog
processors; and integrating and testing replacement telemetry systems.
The FY02 recapitalization efforts are based on RMA analysis, range operator priorities, and the SLRS architecture. They include, but are not
limited to: replacing optics site computer systems; converting to digital range communications system; modifying command destruct systems to
accommodate frequency changes; replacing down range data switches and radar control systems; replacing video data processing equipment;
replacing command transmitter consoles; and replacing radar/telemetry site computers. Additionally, FY02 funds pay for evaluation and
acceptance testing of SLRSC recapitalization products.
The FY03 recapitalization efforts again will be based on RMA analysis, range operator priorities, and the SLRS architecture. They will include,
but are not limited to: replacing obsolete and unsupportable modems and related data transmission equipment; correcting optical site computer
operational deficiencies; correcting command transmitters tone balance and RF envelope deficiencies; replacing obsolete cyber net terminals;
correcting timing signal deficiencies; replacing unmaintainable and obsolete GPS receivers; replacing obsolete telemetric antenna control units;
improving inadequate and insufficient weather speed and direction sensors; replacing unsupportable and maintenance intensive standard digital
transport systems; replacing obsolete master station sensing computers; providing for integration of range safety data plotters; providing relief of
saturated fiber cables; upgrading count distribution systems to allow interface with digital formats; and replacing high failure graphic
workstations. Additionally, FY03 funds will pay for evaluation and acceptance testing and ISS, to include initial spares, support services, and
collection of reprocurement data.
