 INTRODUCTION

On November 10, 1974, a Job Order Specif~cation was

submitted for a Technical Professional Work Assignment

• with the PHOENIX Ivlissile Group of the Fighter Weapons

Branch, Test Operations Department of the Naval Missile

Center, Point Mugu. At this time, the work assignment as

specified in the Job Order Specification (JOS) consisted

basically of two parts: (1) to design, develop and docu-

ment a computer program for storage and retrieval of

AIM-54A (PHOENIX Missile} test data; and (2) prepare a

flight test plan, assist in the conduct of the launch and

write the initial, final and summary launch reports in

support of the AIM-54A Performance Verification Launch

program. The first objf~ctive has been met and is docu-

mented in this projec-t report. To meet the second set of

objectives, a Performance Verification Launch (PVL) was

assigned, PVL-16. Under this launch assignment, extensive!

research was done and a detailed Flight Test Plan was

written. Eut, because of funding problems, the flight

test was not conducted. In lieu of the PVL-16 brief,

debrief, initial and final reports, experience with

various Operational Evaluation (OPEVAL) and Naval Flight

i

Verification (NFV) tests were substituted. In partial

satisfaction of the second set of objectives, an OPEVAI,

 PHOENIX DATA STORAGE PROGRAM

i
Background

On 3 October 1974, the problem of developing a data

:base for PHOENIX missile launches was introduced. This

I
assignment came as a result of three factors; {1) A new

,job assignment was needed as the current VTAS (Visual

!

iTarget Acquisition System) fly-off program was facing

iI
!budget problems and schedule slippage; (2) the new job

1
assignment would provide experience with the types of data
!

obtained from PHOENIX launches, which would in turn pro-

vide a good introduction to an inevitable job reassignment

currently being developed; and (3) the need for a data base

did exist due [Link] continuing requirement for data from

past launches to support report writing, defining problem

areas, etc.

The initial requirement was to design a computer

.program for the Hewlett-Packard 9830A programmable calcu-

i
[Link] that would print out AIM-54.A missile data from those
I
[launches that fit a given set of input restrictions. As
i
!an example, [Link] program should be flexible enough to allow
I
/the user to require a complete or partial list of missile

!data for those launches that fit a set of several criterion

Ii (i.e., for air launches conducted above 20K FT, at speeds

iof more than 900 knots, etc.).

- -··--.

The HP-9830.A was selected because of its ·availability--

and ease of operation. The HP-983011~ available for this

assignment has a useable memory space of 3808 (16-bit,

I
i
two~byte) words, uses BASIC as its programming language,
I
;and is combined with a thermal printer (HP-9866A Printer)
I
:capable of printing 80 characters per line, 240 lines per

ntinute. It can also store (and read) programs, as well as

i .

:data, onto (and from) a magnetic tape cassette. The last

! •
1mportant .feature to be mentioned is the capability to

recognize and to operate on letter and word strings or

string variables {for more information on the Hewlett-

.Packard 9830A, see reference (1)}.

Designing the Progra~

On 10 October 1974, the technical director specified

the proposed table of pertinent data to be stored for each

launch. In addition, a set of twenty-four banks of launch

data was presented as a sample set of data to be used in

the program development. 'I'he -longest entry for each of

the thirty-six original data headings was assumed to be the

maximum allo\>lable space provided for the respective head-

ing. A quick calculation of the number of characters the

printer would allow per data heading if launch data were

printed in rows, produced two characters pe~ heading (as

the maximum number of characters that may be printed per

/line from a print statement is seventy-two). This new i

I

I constraint dictated that the launch data would be printed

 5

,' words, [Link], abbreviations and numbers) also confined

the method of storing data to string variables. Since

only 255 characters may be stored per variable string,

careful attention was given to the maximum allowable space

per data heading in all s~rings. The final allocations

can be seen in Appendix A (each dash following the data

heading allows one character). It was also envisioned

that the headings would be printed on the left side of the

paper for each group of launch data. A string was then

comprised to hold all of the characters necessary for a

complete list of data. Since the headings alone filled

one string, a second string was designed to hold the h~ad-

ing units. •rhen the maximum number of data columns per

page was determined by first finding the largest sum of

the heading and 1/2 (corresponding data length). This

then gave the centerline of the first data column as:

(1/2 {number of data characters) + number of heading

characters, or the number of characters required for head-

ing and heading units>max + 2

where two spaces were to separate the da·ta from the

heading title. Given the centerline of the first column

and the maximum length of data to be allo-v;ed, it was deter-

mined that four columns of data could be accomodated per

page given by the relation:

22 + 6 + (14) X = 72

where X one less than ·total number of data columns

22 = number of characters of {heading and half

6 = half of maximum data line

14 = maximum data line length and 2 spaces for

separation

72 ~ total maximum line length

Once the format of the printout was decided~, the

first part of the program was constructed (refer to

I' Appendix D.) In what was to become two separate programs,

! a one dimensional matrix was initialized in seven separate

I groups. Through a compromise of convenience and necessity,

it was decided that the user would have the option of

selecting any combination of six of the seven available

groups of data (i.e., launch parameters, relative data,

missile data, fuze functions, and comments). The Mission

Date, Mission Title, Fighter Type/Number and Missile

Number formed the only group [Link] could not be deselected,

as [Link] felt that these bits of data comprised the mini-

mum data requirement. The method used to initiate

initialization of the one dimensional matrix, A, for a

particular data group was by displaying a question and

simultaneously requesting an input into string A$. This

was accomplished by a display command followed by an input

command, such as:

DISP "DATA II;

INPUT A$

t_where the semicolon in the display command allows whatever

 7

is enclosed in quotes to remain on the display (followed

by a question mark) until the input is acted on by the

user. Once an input is made, the string A$ is compared

to the substring "no" in an if statement:

if A$ = "no" then (line number)

This· is accomplished by comparing string A$ and substring

character by character (by comparing the octal codes of

each character, see Appendix A} until either a difference

is found or all of the characters in both strings have b~e

compared favorably. If a group of data is requested (in

this manner) by the user, the one dimensional matrix, A,

is subscripted by a counter, t, and in turn stores numbers

in sets of four. The numbers stored into the one dimen-

sional matrix, A, form two pairs of subscripts which then

specify corresponding substrings in the heading and data

strings (refer to computer printout in Appendix D). The

two pairs-0£ subscripts are:

W$ (A (I), A (!+45)); M$ (A (!+90~, A (I+l35j)

1 (See Appendix D for program listing). At this time, a

program was written that would determine the groups of dat

to be printed out as described above. The data manipula-

tion portion of the program was then given careful consid-

eration. Since it had been known that string variables .

were to be used, a COM (comrnon} and DIM (dimension) state-

ment would have to be used to allot space in memory for

the matrices and strings used in the program. The size of

Lthe program dictated that it be broken up into at least

 8

F-;;e;arate prog;_;-;;.--S-l~c~-- the--fl~st program initialized

the one-dimensional matrix A to be used to print out the

data in the second program, the second program had to be

linked to the first (by the Link command). The Link com-

mand retains in memory all variables arid their values in-

traduced by the previous program while loading a second

program from the magnetic tape {i·t also automatically runs

the new program). The fact that the second program was to

be linked then dictated that ·the COM and DIM statements

were to be introduced in the very first program. Using the

COM statement requires that it be the first line in the

first program entered into computer memory if the succeed-

ing programs are to be linked ·to that program. The dimen-

Ision statement is usually all that is required to allot

1memory space for strings and matric2s, but because it was

Irequired that data strings be retained in memory while a

Ifile of data strings was to be entered, the COM had to be
Iused in conjunction with the DIM statement. For example,
I

I if four data strings could be printed out at one time, it

[Link] be necessary to be capable of retaining three

,1, ::::d:::u:::: ::::n::c:h:::n::::r:::l:n:::::i:a::u: ~::a i

strings with th~ possible exception of the last group

printed out (consisting of four or less remaining data

strings). The COM statement therefo~e contained all of

the data strings. The residual strings and all matrices

were to be in the DIM statement. Only one COM statement

 9

may exist. in any program so the maximum number of data

strings that could be loaded from a data file (and conse-

[Link] stored onto a data file) was limited to the number

that could physically fit in a COM statement. This number

turned out to be nine data strings, which when combined

with the required three residual strings, etc., used an

excessive amount of memory. Eight data strings were then

designated as the maximum amount of data to be stored on

each data file. Due to the amounts of memory required by

the COM and DIM statements, the first program was split

into two parts and linked together (See Appendix D for

final progrru~ list).

Data Manipula-tion Program

Given subscripts for both data and labeling strings,

the remaining problem was that of selecting the data

strings to be list·ed and then listing them. Since the

method of storing and retrieving data had been decided,

t~e remaining problem reduced to that of basic program-

ing. The method employed is shown in Appendix D in the

program list. The design of the program is such that the

user is asked for the number ·of constraints to be imposed,

then is instructed to edit a series of "IF" statements

j corresponding to the number of constraints desired. If,

I for instance, two constraints are to be imposed, the sen-

! tence: Press (stop), then enter your constraints in line

I

(s) 450,470 then press {cont), (2), (0), (0), (execute); i

 10

process, a set of instructions are included in written

I
, form as well as being permanently stored on another mag-

I netic tape labeled data program instructions, (see

Appendix B). The instructions aid the user in editing

"IF" statements in the program to hold his/her constraints.

The constraints when entered are used only once as they

are not permanently stored on the magnetic tape. The

program then loads a data file and inspects each data

string, if constraints were entered. A counter is em-

ployed and each good string is transferred to strings

W$, X$, Y$ the fourth string remaining in Z$. -These four

strings are then printed out and the counter is reset

back to zero. If less then four strings are found that

satisfy the input constraints, the good data strings are

stored in strings W$, X$ 1 Y$ and the next data file is

loaded in a.n attempt to complete the four string requiLe-

ment. When each data file is loaded the H$ string is com-

pared to the substring "zip". If this substring is found

in H$, the remaining good [Link] are printed and ·the pro-
i.
gram is termina·ted. The substring "zip" indicates that

the previous data file was the last file containing use-

able data therefore signaling the program to print out the

remaining good data files. Ins·tructions for ope:r-ating the

recovery programs were developed as shown in Appendix B •.

 11

r ------------------------------
Data Storage Program
At this time, the data storage program was developed

(see Appendix C for program listing}.When run, it asks for

the number of the last data file entered (written on the

back of the cassette tape} then loads that data file.

After comparing data strings to empty substrings the last

string to contain data is located and a counterJI)is

initialized so that the next data string (after the last

full data string) will receive the input data. Questions

are then displayed and the number of characters allowed in

the reply is indicated .. When the string has been filled,

the operator is asked if another string is to ~e stored.

-~·

If the answer is not "no" the system is recycled and

allows the user to enter another string of data. If the

counter indicates that eight [Link] data exist, all

data strings are stored onto a data file and the user is

asked if more data is to be stored. The program is re-

cycle_d un·til the user answers "no 11 to the inquiry "want

to store another string?"

Instructions were developed for this storage program

and stored on the instruction tape. A written copy of the

instructions for both data storage and data manipulation

1 are kept with the cassette tape. (see Appendix B for

instructions).

L Resul·ts

Due to late revisions in the print out format, data

 12

has had to be re-entered four times. Currently data from

eighteen PHOENIX launches have been stored on magnetic

cassette tape. Several successful data listings have been

made by three of the four intended users. In Appendix E,

communication exchanges between computer and user can be

seen for three data acquisition attempts. For the given

examples, six dummy data strings were created and manipu-

lated as shown in Appendix E. In the first data print

out, the user is asked two questionsi "Do you want all of

the data?" and "How many constraints do you want?" In

this case a complete list of all the data in memory was

req~ired therefore the replies were "yes" (all data de-

sired) and "~" (no constraints imposed) respectively.

In the second example the user requires data for

only those launches where the AIM-54A was launched from an

altitude, greater than or equal to 27.31 KFT. Since the

user indicated that all data was not desired, the compu-

ter then determined which of the possible six groups of

data were to be de-selected by asking the user six yes or

no questions. As indicated in the example, a negative

response has to be NO, as any other possible group of

[Link] enable the computer to assume a positive

response. One constraint was also asked for and conse-

, quently a set of basic instructions were printed out that

I enable the user to edit the appropriate "IF" statement.

1,' A set of editing i~structions available to the user then

' directed the user to press: (fetch), (4), (5), (0) 1 i

L_____________________________________ ·-·-···-··-........................................ --------- ....___ -·····------·------··----·..J
 13

~ute). This command calls the line holding the appro-

I priate "I~'" statement to be edited. The available

instructions (see Appendix B for instructions for the data

recovery program) then allowed the user to create an "IF"

statement given that launch altitude in KFT is identified

by Z$ (33,37) = "27.31", the program is then continued

from line 200, as directed by the printed command and the

result is as shown.

In the third example, only a brief list of avail-

able launch data is desired so the user asks for no data

and no constraints and receives only; "MISSION DATE",

"MISSION TITLE", "FIGHTER TYPE" and "MISSILE NO.". This

data is then consider'ed to be the minimum data to be re-

ceived and therefore can never be de-selected. Two

methods were d~vised to create constraint "IF" statements.

The first method is'· to be used when searching for or com-

paring numeric answers only. Example:

VAL (Z$ (33,37)) = 23.0

This method determines the numeric value of the sub-string

Z$ (33,37) and compares the given value to 23. If

Z$ = "23 ABC" then the "IF" statement would be satisfied.

If however Z$ = "ABC 23" the "IF" statement would not have

been satisfied as the first character must be a digi·t,

decimal point or E-notat~on.

The second method requires an exact match between

two sub-strings as each character is compared character

by character until a difference is found (by comparing [Link]

 14

,..------------·------------·-------·-----·----·---
actual codes of each character). Example:

Z$ (33,37) = "ABCDE"

IF Z$ (33,37) equals " ABCD" then the statement would

not have been satisfied as the octal value of a blank spac

is found to be 040 as compared to 101 for "A 11 •

There are possible improvements that could be incor-

porated into this program. The first being that when

storing data, editing instructions were not provided for

so that any mistakes made when storing data cannot be

easily corrected. -The options open at tl1is time in that

situation are {1) to turn the calculator off and re-enter

all the data {possibly up to eight strings), o~ (2) store

[Link] string as it is and have a more proficient programmer

edit the data strings at a later date. It was felt that

editing instructions to cover all of the possible mistakes

imaginable would have been too time consuming and compli-

cated to follow, therefore this alternative was deline-

a ted.

The second possible improvement is in the method

employed to enter constraints. F'o.r a non-programmer the

editing process would be complicated ·to s~y the least, but:.

to make constraint entering possible in English would have

necessitated an exorbitant amount of computer memory.

After consulting the technical director about the options

open it was decided that an "IF 11 statement constraint

would suffice and consequently became an integral part of

the program.

PHOENIX FLIGHT TESTS

On 25 November 1974, ·the Data Storage Program was

completed and verified. At this time preparation was made

to facilitate familiarization with the F-14A/AWG-9/AIM-54A

Weapon system as it relates to the Performance Verification

Launch (PVL) program.

The PVL program was established under AIRTASK No.

A501-5104/054F/3501-000005, to perform those launches that

were left unaccomplished during the F-14A Board of Inspec-

tion and Survey (BIS), and the Navy Technical Evaluation

{NTE) program, and to provide a data base for the continu-

ing evaluation of the AIM-54A missile. Parameters for the

launches were either derived from BIS and NTE or developed

exclusively for PVL. Five Electronic Counter Measures

(ECM) launches were assigned and designed under the PVL

program. [Link] these launches PVL-16 was assigned as a

Technical Professional Work Assignment.

At this time, the five ECM launch parameters were

still in the·design stage under the guidance and control of

the design engineer. The design engineer was tasked to

lend guidance in the design of ECM tests for Navy Flight

Verification (NFV) and PVL programs. During the period of

time research and investigation were being undertaken by

1the design engineer in the area of PHOENI~_mi~sile __ Counter

16
 17

funter Measure -{[Link]~, the task of familiari-

zing oneself with the PHOENIX missile became the initial

Technical Professional (TP) work project.

In order to gain experience in reducing and evaluating

raw telemetry missile data several fleet launches were

assigned for reduction and evaluation. The four fleet

launches assigned included one ECM shot and three launches

with differing launch modes (i.e., Track While Scan (TWS),

Air Combat Maneuvering (ACM) Active and Pulsed Doppler

!single Targe Track {PDSTT)). The~, as it became necessary,

I!research .
was done 1n the area of basic radar operation and

!guidance logic for the PHOENIX missile. The [Link]~

!researched was that of basic radar operation. In order to

lunderstand guidance problems and ambiguities in missile

I

!launches
1
it was necessary to learn about pulsed radar oper-

ation. The active radar system in the PHOENIX missile is

'comprised primarily of a single transmitter/receiver. This

bit of knowledge then led to research in Pulse Repetition

l Frequency modulation (PRF) in order to answer the question

of ranging amhiquitie.s in pulsed radars (particularly as

lit applies to the AWG-9 .radarY. The operation of PRF

modulation as explained in reference {2) and clarified by

the technical director is as follows. Ordinarily, unmodu-

lated pulsed radar could produce a false range track on a

target (A) as shown below, and therefore A would appear to

~e clo~er than it actually was.

Unmodulated Pulse and Signal

Figure 1

Figure 1 shows image B to be less than the maximum unam-

biguous range (determined by the pulse rate of the radar)

as each return from B occurs prior to the next pulse.

But target A is ambiguous as its range is beb1een one to

two times the unambiguous range and appears to be closer

after the second pulse. In order to alleviate this

problem, the PRF modulation method was employed and

operates as follows:

By modulating the frequency, as shown in figure 2, and

triggering from the pulse (see figure 3) an image of

target, B, which is less that the maximum unambiguous

range, increases in amplitude (above the threshold vol-

tage) and is detected. For targets whose range is greater

than the maximum unambiguous range the return image would

be blurred according to the number of different frequen-

cies used.

An attempt was also made to aquaint oneself with the

theory behind several other radar phenomenon, such as;

sidelobes and isodops, range gateing and high and low PRF

coherent pulsed doppler radar frequency spectrum (see

reference 3). Once the introduction to radar was com-

pleted, the PHOENIX guidande system was investigated.

Hughes Aircraft Company has furnished Systems Engineering

Ar..alysis (SEA) reports on most of the missile systems and

subaystems, which subsequently serves as the main text at

this time. The following section will include a summary

of the F-14A/ANG-9/[Link] systems as obtained

through reading from the SEA reports.

active or semi active modes. The missile and AWG-9 radar

system also have the unique ability to communicate during

missile flight via missile messages. These coded missile

messages enable the AWG-9 to command the inflight, semi

active missile to an active mode. The AWG-9 also has the

capability of updating the missile and in so doinq, may

control several infliqht missiles simultaneously. Basic-

ally, the missile may be launched in one of three AWG-9

launch modes; Single Target Track (STT), Track While Scan

(TWS) or Air Combat Maneuvering (ACM) Active.

The AWG-9 can maintain track on several targets sim- !

ultaneously and in so doing facilitates rapid reattack

capabilities. When more than one target is maintained on

a track file, the aircrew may launch AIM-54 missiles in

the ACM active mode by first selecting a target then

launching the missile. At Launch To Eject {LTE) the mis-

lile is given guidance data and an Active Transfer

Command (ATC). This then allows the missile to ac·tively

guide on the target, releasing the AWG-9 of the responsi-

bility to maintain track on the ·target. Since [Link] AWG-9

radar system has the ability to maintain track files on

up to six targets, six AIM-54A missiles may be launched

at six different targets in a matter of seconds.

In STT mode, the F-14A/AWG-9/AIM-54A weapon system .

missile messages from the AWG-9 which provide tracking ~

data updates and steering commands. The passive AIM-54A

then guides Semi Actively to target intercept. In this

mode, the target must remain illuminated during the entire

missile flight time as the AIM-54A would not have the

capability to guide actively.

When the AIM-54A is launched in TWS, preset instru~---~--------

tions allow the missile to obtain an optimum aerodynamic

flight geometry for each particular launch. During- the

first phase of missile flight, the AIM-54A. guides via

1 sample data (this missile mode is called Sample Data

I Active, Sp/A.) The missile receives tracking data with

I, go active. If a successful active transfer occurs, the
Imissile then guides actively to intercept. If for some
unforeseen reason the missile should lose track during

active flight, it may receive and process the next mis~ile

message sent for sample data. At LTE, each missile is · I

assigned a code so that during missile flight, only those

missile messages postscripted with the proper missile code

will be processed. Because each missile message is coded,

up to six missiles may be launched in TWS and simultane-

ously controlled by the AWG-9 during missile flight.

Reducing Missile Data

Once it was felt a basic understanding of the methods!
L_----------------------,---- ··-·-J

of operation of the F-14A/AWG-9/AIM-54A weapon system was

obtained, four· fleet launches were assigned for evalua-

tion. The distinguishing difference between fleet

launches and launches conducted on the Pacific Missile

Range by the Pacific Missile Test Center (formerly Naval

Missile Center} is the amount and types of data ohtained.

The F-14'8 used by the Systems Evaluation Directorate,

I formerly Test Operations Department, are specially instru-

mental aircraft. From these specially instrumental air-

craft, AWG-9 data is obtained via analog tabulation

(antab) data. The antab data will recover such AWS-9

data as AWG-9 launch mod, launch range, the number. of

missile messages sent, information sent with each missile

message, etc. Fleet launches usually never provide antab

data.

Radar data is usually available for launches per-

formed on National Ranges. The four fleet launches

assigned were performed at Barking Sands, Hawaii and

therefore were provided radar coverage. Radar data is

usually smoothed into t\vo forms (G,;,.·2~3) and G-4-1) which

differ in information provided and also in the reference

frame used (i.e.; for one set of data all measurements are

made relative to the intercepter, G-2-3, and the other set

uses an arbitrary static reference point, G-4-1).

For both Pacific Missile Test Center and Fleet

launches, missiles used in test launches usually have a

l__!elemet_EY package which telemeters up to 108 channels of

 23

missile functions (for non warhead missiles). The analog

data gathered from these telemetry packages is used to

determine missile guidance performance. Prior to aircraft

take-off, Missile On Aircraft Tests, MOATs, (MOATs are a

portion of the AWG-9 Built-In Test system, BITS) are con-. '

ducted and missile responses are monitored and evaluated

real time to insure ·the equipment is functioning properly.

In order to evaluate the analog data obtained from

each launch, calibration tables and charts are created

from laboratory results for each of the 108 telemetry

' channels. Three strip charts were then devised for the

three most often used banks of data (launch data gener- i .

ally provides 10 banks of data containing eight data

channels per bank) in order to facilitate ease of readin:g

missile data. •rhe MO.h'I'S run during each flight prior to

11
the hot" run (the portion of the flight when LTE is

initiated) are also used as calibration sources for a few

of the telemetry channels where accuracy is especially

important.

The targets used on the range are generally instru-

rnented and [Link] real time target data. Of major

importance ·is the miss distance obtained from this data

either derived by photon scoring or cooperative doppler

methods.

The final source of data usually available when eval-1

l
uating a launch for a final launch report is the prelim- I
. !
inary firing message prepared by the agency performing

(responsible for evaluating) the test. This is generally

called a 24 hour launch report and is prepared by the lead

engineer on the project. This report generally contains

de-brief information about the launch as well as basic

information otherwise almost impossible to obtain, such as

target type, augmentation used, ECM used, fuze type, etc.

For the four fleet launches evaluated, antab data was

not available and the preliminary firing message was found

for only one launch. _ The type of information obtained and

the format used can be seen in Appendix A.

The four launches were completely different compris-

ing: t

(1) 29 Sept. 1974, missile nru~ber 20015, was a co-

altitude ACM Active Boresight launch at a
BQM-34A target.

(2) 21 Aug. 1974, missile Eumber 20055, was a look-

up TWS launch at a BQM-34A target in an ECM
environment.

(3) 23 July 1974, missile number F-626, was a look-

down Pulse Doppler Single Target Track, (PDSTT)
launch at an augmented BQM-34E target.

(4) 27 Sept. 1974, missile number 20053, was a head

on, look-up TWS launch at a clear (unaugemented)
BQH-34A target.
T~e ECM launch, particularly lent beneficial experi-

ence in an area that is covered by the test plan develop-

ed for the PVL program. Due to the sensitivity of the

material, the results of the evaluations made of the

fleet launches will not be discussed in this report.

 25

I PVJ., Test Plan

It seemed desirable to perform four specific ECM test

for two reasons:· (1) The launches if used in the PVL pro-

gram could also be applied to the OPEVAL (Operational Eval~

uation) program conducted by VX-4 (Air Test and Evaluation

.Squadron FOUR) and {2) the F-14A/AWG-9/AIM-54A weapon

system capabilities in the proposed environments were pre-

viously ill defined. For each proposal, certain parameter

were hard (not to be changed) as they crucially effected

the nature of the threat and others were soft (varying

from one test to another). Those parameters that were sof

could be manipulated, possibly to test or verify other

characteristics of the weapon system. The parameters that

vJere initially selected were taken from captive flight

parameters proposed in the Naval Flight Verification {NFV)

Program Test Plan. The initial test of the suitability of

these parameters came as a result of determining the

(Launch Acceptability Region) Ll'..Rs for each launch para-.

meter. This test determines if the AWG-9 radar will allow

the AIM-54A to be launched in each particular situation.

The next test of the feasibility of the launch para-

meters '[Link] the a2rodynamic simulation for the AIM-54A

missile. This simulation tvas run for each launch over all

of the parameter bounds {i.e.; for high and low bounds ofi

range, aspect angle, look angle, etc.) to determine if the

missile could theoretically get to the target. The aero-

dynamic range of the missile as calculated in these

--~-------
 26

simulations is also used as range criterion (if the maxi-

mum range of the missile exceeded the .range safety re-

quirements, the parameters would be rejected).

As a final test, the operational environment was sim-

ulated on the SITS (System Integrated Test Station)

equipment. In this system, all the components of a weapon

system plus its operating environment are simulated, there

by allowing all-around compatability of total system

components to be tested.

Concurrently, research was being initiated to deter-

mine the PHOENIX missile Counter-Counter [Link] (CCM)

capability in each of these ECM environments. It 'tvas

necessary in designing the test plan to be certain of the

required train of events leading to a successful target

track and intercept. Potential problem areas had to be

clearly defined in the test plan so as to be easily

recognized if and when they occurred in the actual launch.

Following the introduction of the fifth [Link]-

meter and successful investigation of LARS, aerodynamic

simulation, and SITS evaluation, the Test Plan was written

for launches PVL-14, -·15, -16, -17, -18 (see Appendix F)

in accordance with the Test Plan Format found in Appendix

G.
Due to funding problems, the Flight Tes·t Program for

PVL-14, -15, -16, -17, -18 has been temporarily suspended.

To replace the follow-on effort unavailable in the PVL

program, experience in evaluating flight test data and

 27

writing the Final Flight Test Report for OPEVAL mission

E-4 is hereby substituted.

OPEVAL Final Launch Report

On 27 March 1975 a PHOENIX AIM-54A missile was

launched by Air Test and Evaluation Squadron FOUR to

satisfy the objectives of PHOENIX Operational Evaluation

test E-4. Missile on ground and in-flight BITS were con-

ducted and monitored real time. Once these were completed

and satisfied, up missiles were designated and a "hot"

run commenced. During the "hot" run, AWG-9 mode was

select as automatic TWS. The missile (missile number

20024) was launched in SD/A mode and guided successfully

to [Link]. After the aircrew landed, a de-brief was

aftended by aircrew and engineers. In flight launch con-

dition information was exchanged and it was noted that the

AWG-9 mode was switched during missile flight.

VX-4 wrote the preliminary firing report for the

launch which [Link] received 30 March 1975. The [Link]

of the mode switch was noted in the preliminary analog

missile data and corifirmed in the smoothed data. Smooth-

ed G-2-3, and G-4-1 radar data was used to determine the

 28

written (see cover letter, Appendix F). The Final Report

was submitted for review at a division meeting on 29 May

1975 and has just completed the rewrite stage.

The Final Launch Report Format shown in Appendix H

was used in developing the Final Report for OPEVAL mission!

Results

A rather disjointed, but none-the-less complete,

flight test cycle comprised of Flight Test Plan (PVL-14,

-15, -16, -17, -18), technical and operational brief

(Naval Flight Verification Program), flight t~st, debrief.

and Final Launch Report (OPEVAL mission E-4) was experi-

enced. Evaluation of several fleet launches supplemented

the required quota as well as researching a wide variety

of PHOENIX missile capabilities.

 CONCLUSION

The programs developed for storage and retrieval

i of AIM-54A test data were designed to be used by engineers

in the PHOENIX missile section. The adequacy of the pro-

grams was determined by use, and the results were judged

acceptable by the Technical [Link]. Launch data has

since been stored and the storing of new data implemented

as [Link] procedure.

The introduction to PHOENIX launch data by working

with the programs proved to be valuable as an overview of

missile capabilities and because of the variety of laun~h

types evaluated, a firm foundation was established in the

area of PHOENIX flight testing.

The flight test cycle experienced during the PVL

and OPEVAL programs provided a realistic look at missile

flight testing as concurrent missile tests are found to be

more common than not. The exposure to Navy and Contractor

interfacing, budgeting and planning problems experienced

in this nssigrm1ent provided an hones·t look at the realis-

tic world of missile testing.
