The USAF Test Pilot School conducted flight tests to characterize the Weibel-manufactured Spaceport Arrival and Departure System (SPADS) radar functionality and performance for potential use as a single-station time-space- position information (TSPI) source. TSPI truth source data was measured with Advanced Range Data System (ARDS) pods for aircraft tracking, cinetheodolites for munition trajectory tracking and video bomb scoring (VBS) for bomb impact predictions.
