A system design and test plan are described for operational evaluation of the NASA-Goddard position location and aircraft communications equipment (PLACE), at C-band (4/6 GHz), using NASA's ship, the USNS Vanguard, and the ATS-3 and ATS-5 synchronous satellites. The sea test phase, extending from Mar. 29, 1973 to Apr. 15, 1973 has been successfully completed; the principal objectives of the experiment were achieved. Typical PLACE-computed, position-location data are shown for the Vanguard. Position location and voice-quality measurements were excellent; ship position was determined within 2 n mi; high-quality, 2-way voice transmissions resulted as determined from audience participation, intelligibility and articulation-index analysis. A C-band/L-band satellite trilateration experiment is discussed.
