Wireless Local Area Network Flight Demonstration for High Doppler Conditions
William P. D'Amico, Mark H. Lauss · Johns Hopkins APL technical digest · 2004
n the late 1990s, the U.S. Army’s Yuma Proving Ground (YPG) adapted wireless local area network technologies to provide test data acquisition over a large portion of that test range. YPG implemented a ground-based infrastructure that supplies two-way wireless network connectivity and seamless data acquisition for multiple, simultaneous test activities and data sources. YPG and APL, under the Two-Way Robust Acquisition of Data program, partnered to provide the science behind “the how and why” of the YPG network and to investigate the use of a wireless node on a high-velocity munition, often described as the “fast mover” problem.
