With the planned full operational deployment of the NAVSTAR Global Positioning System (GPS), many applications for the system are beginning to be developed. This paper discusses the concept of GPS instrumentation for the TRIDENT II (D-5) program as well as the background for the Navy's use of existing GPS assets for test evaluation of the TRIDENT I (C-4) Weapon System. Included are the concepts of translated GPS used for real-time tracking for missile range safety as well as for post test performance evaluation (metric tracking) of the TRIDENT guidance system. The use of GPS pseudosatellite signals to enhance the robustness of the tracking system to provide range safety information is presented. GPS time transfer capabilities are to be used to ensure efficient time synchronization operation for all stations. The unique design features associated with using GPS for range instrumentation are highlighted.
