System design, analysis and tests were performed in preparation for a joint U.S. Army/Air Force demonstration flight test. This flight test will involve use of the Air Force Advanced Location and Strikes System (ALSS) Distance Measuring Equipment (DME) navigation and guidance techniques for control of a Hawk missile on a surface-to-surface trajectory. Requirements are defined for the interface between the DME Weapon Guidance Subsystem and the Hawk flight control system. A DME data link antenna system was designed. Scale model antenna pattern test results are presented which validate the performance for the DME, Telemetry and Command Destruct antennas needed for flight tests. A projected flight test geometry is defined relating the missile trajectory and ALSS ground station locations. Functional requirements are identified for modifications necessary to the ALSS software to provide missile control during the flight tests. (Author)
