L-3 Telemetry-East has designed and developed a wide variety of aircraft flight test products ranging from simple encoder/transmitter systems to large scale master/remote Data Acquisition Systems (DAS). These systems have been used by virtually every large aircraft contractor on commercial programs, and by aerospace contractors and government agencies on critical military programs.
Applications
Aircraft Flight Test
Missile and Launch Vehicle Test
L-3 Telemetry-East has provided, and continues to provide, products and systems to the major U.S. and foreign aerospace companies and government agencies involved in missile and launch vehicle testing. Missile programs such as Tomahawk, Stinger, Trident, and THAAD, to name a few, use L-3 Telemetry-East transmitters, encoders, signal conditioning, and data acquisition systems.
Precision Munitions Test
L-3 Telemetry-East has developed a unique, modular product consisting of a PCM encoder and S-Band transmitter used in projectile test applications. These units can be modified to accommodate virtually any requirement and can be physically repackaged to meet a wide variety of form factors, depending on installation needs.
Telemetry Ground Equipment
L-3 Telemetry-East manufactures a wide variety of telemetry ground equipment, including receivers, complete computer-controlled ground stations, and a wide variety of support products servicing the range telemetry, space data, signal intelligence, and satellite Telemetry, Tracking and Control (TT&C) communities. These products include configurations suitable for rack mount, modules for VME chassis and PC applications, and complete turnkey installations.

Telemetry Ground Equipment
The Universal Tactical Telemetry System (UTTS) is a modular assembly consisting of Transmitter and PCM Encoder Modules (PC Board assemblies) designed specifically for extremely high shock applications. These applications include, but are not limited to, projectiles, high performance missiles, and in-bore (155 mm cannon and other) telemetry applications. The Transmitter and PCM Encoder modules are
mounted in a compartmentalized aluminum housing to provide maximum isolation and EMI protection, and can be operated from a wide variety of power sources, from 3.5 to 15 Vdc. The modules are small enough to allow packaging into virtually any type of mechanical system configuration, and in special cases, can be made even smaller through the use of ASIC and Hybrid devices.
The versatility of these two basic module assemblies allows considerable latitude in the design and implementation of a Telemetry System for
projectile and high environment programs. These components can be used for Test and Instrumentation applications, as warhead replacement systems for projectile and missile performance evaluation applications, for training, or where a need for a Tactical Telemetry capability is required.
