Since August of 1954 the Range Contractor, Pan Am World Services, together with its subcontractor, RCA Service Company, has operated and maintained all equipment and systems at the Eastern Test Range (ETR) for the Air Force and has performed Data Reduction and Engineering Development services. During this period missile development has been phenomenal, from the relatively simple Matador missiles to the very complex Atlas, Titan, Delta, and Trident vehicles. The development of accurate PTTI systems has had to keep pace, until today the ETR timing system accuracy requirements are specified in fractions of microseconds. This paper will describe PTTI systems at the Eastern Space and Missile Center (ESMC) and what is being done to meet the present and future requirements.
