Acroamatics participated in a test that involved the successful targeting and destruction of a ballistic missile hundreds of miles from Hawaii. Our products were the sole ground station products used during the tests. The telemetry info received was of excellent quality. In addition to our TDP systems, we also demoed our Best Source Selector for the Navy and it was used live during the test itself. Its purpose was to make sure that all telemetry data from the target and missile were captured. The size of the antenna at the ridge was so large that during the interception flight path, the signal sources were really not in question. Once the missile destroyed the target though, the falling target was spinning so fast that it went in and out of frame sync on a number of the receiving antennas. Our Best Source Selector performed perfectly during the descent of the tumbling missile and successfully captured all the data by intelligently switching from one source to another. We also have a demo version in software of the BSS that runs on NT. If you want a copy of this demo, please email us at
and we can get this to you on CD.
Delta Digital Video encoder products can be configured with software that will accept
the FLIR Star Safire TLM Out telemetry stream and convert it to KLV metadata which is
then multiplexed with the video and output in an MPEG-2 transport stream. Please see the White Paper for more information.
