The range safety display system is an example of state-of-the-art technology applied to a critical flight test function. Flight vehicles are a combination of high technology ranging from powerful engines to delicate flight computers and control systems. The decisions made during flight operations must be based on up to date and accurate information. As we continue to push back the boundaries of space we must also apply our knowlege to improving our decision support systems. RSDSA is an accurate and reliable tool to support flight safety decisions. The RSDSA is based on a proven processor and graphics display system. The presentation of critical flight safety information is based on years of experience and inovation. Using tools such as the RSDSA, the western rest range can support testing of the most advanced flight vehicles. RSDSA will also be the primary range safety system for the launch and recovery of the Space Shuttle from Vandenberg Air Force Base. By combining state-of-the-art echnology with proven safety systems, the western test range has further enhanced its ability to accomplish its mission.
