UVMC

Data Sheet

The Unmanned Vehicle Mission Computer (UVMC) is a modular, high performance system that

provides maximum flexibility for easy integration into multiple platforms. It was developed with high-

level mission planning capabilities and vehicle sensor integration as key feature capabilities.

The field proven UVMC is designed with an advanced parallel processing architecture that

utilizes a 760 MIPS main processor for computationally intensive autopilot control algorithms and an

FPGA based processing module for Input/Output signal control requirements. This unique

architecture allows the core autopilot software to remain separate from the I/O software, thus

offloading I/O functions from the main processor.

The UVMC includes interfaces for external GPS and IMU modules as well as RS-232/485/422,

CAN, HDLC, 10Base100 Ethernet, JTAG, and ITCS. MIL-STD-1553B is also available as an optional

upgrade. A removable Compact Flash module is also available to support high speed data recording

requirements.

The UVMC utilizes a Common Interface Bus architecture that provides expansion capability for

additional I/O, a Inertial Navigation System (INS) module, and additional communication interfaces.

Multi-Service Data Link (MSDL) Transponder

Description

MSDL

Data Sheet

The Multi-Service Data Link (MSDL) transponder is a command receiver, digital command

decoder, digital telemetry encoder, telemetry transmitter, and target interface enclosed in a single

lightweight package. The transponder receives commands transmitted by the ground control station

and interfaces with the vehicle management computer or autopilot.

Uplink UHF command messages from the ground control station are received by the transponder

in the frequency band of 359.5 MHz to 375 MHz. The RF data is converted to a serial data stream

that is digitally transmitted to the vehicle autopilot for processing. The autopilot can then send a

serial data stream back to the transponder where the telemetry downlink is then transmitted down to

the ground control station. The MSDL has three antenna ports to support multiple antenna inputs via

the vehicle RF switch. Multiple antenna inputs can be toggled through for the strongest signal.

MSDL has also been qualified per MIL-STD-461 (EMI), MIL-STD-810 (Environmental), MIL-

HDBK-781 (Reliability) making it one of the most capable devices in the industry.

Model 290 UHF Datalink Transponder

Description

Model 290

Data Sheet

The Model 290 UHF datalink transponder is a command receiver, digital command decoder,

digital telemetry encoder, telemetry transmitter, and target interface enclosed in a single lightweight

package. The transponder receives commands transmitted by the ground control station and

interfaces with the vehicle management computer or autopilot.

Uplink UHF command messages from the ground control station are received by the transponder

in the frequency band of 380 MHz to 435 MHz. The RF data is converted to a serial data stream that

is digitally transmitted to the vehicle autopilot for processing. The autopilot can then send a serial

data stream back to the transponder where the telemetry downlink is then transmitted down to the

ground control station. It also has three antenna ports to support multiple antenna inputs via the

vehicle RF switch. Multiple antenna inputs can be toggled through for the strongest signal.

The Model 290 has been qualified per MIL-STD-461 (EMI), MIL-STD-810 (Environmental), MIL-

HDBK-781 (Reliability) making it one of the most capable devices in the industry.

GRDCS/DFCS RF Transponder

Description

The Gulf Range Drone Control System (GRDCS) / Drone Formation Control System (DFCS) RF

Transponder is an L-Band transmitter/receiver designed to function as a Distance Measuring

Equipment (DME) to support GRDCS/DFCS navigation requirements.

The use of Time-Of-Arrival (TOA) measurements to compute distances requires the transponder

to reply to uplinked command messages from ground control stations with precisely timed downlink

telemetry messages. The update rate for the datalink messages is nominally 10 messages/second.

The GRDCS/DFCS RF Transponder is capable of interrogation rates form 20 Hz (50 milliseconds) to

2 Hz (500 miliseconds).

The GRDCS/DFCS RF Transponder supports datalink message communication by decoding and

transferring uplink command data to the Integrated Flight Controller (IFC) system, and by encoding

downlink telemetry data representing aircraft flight control mode status and sensor readings from the

IFC. The GRDCS/DFCS RF Transponder communicates with the IFC via EIA RS-485

SCORING SYSTEMS35 Hill Ave Fort Walton Beach FL 32548 | PH: 1-888-325-9422 | Fax: 1-850-243-1378 | www.gomicrosystems.com

Micro Systems offers complete scalar (miss distance) air-to-air or sea surface-to-air non-cooperative

scoring systems. No modification is required to the missile. We offer complete, turn-key solutions

including the scoring sensor (air or sea surface vehicle), scoring ground stations, and test sets. The

miss distance sensor (AN/DSQ-50A) is a high performance pulsed Doppler system installed in the

vehicle and detects when a missile passes within the sensor range. The sensor information is then

transmitted to the ground station. The ground station recieves the information and quickly calculates the

miss distance. This calculation can be performed automatically or in operator-assisted mode. The

scoring ground station can also be interfaced to our MONTAGE Command and Control System to

provide automatic, low cost, telemetry receiver antenna tracking.

AN/DSQ-50A Miss Distance Scoring Sensor

Description

AN/DSQ-50A

Data Sheet

The Micro Systems Inc. AN/DSQ-50A Miss Distance Sensor is the airborne element of the AN/

USQ-104 RF Scalar Scoring System. Tracking data from the AN/DSQ-50A is transferred in real time

to the Scoring Ground Control System, where it is captured and processed to produce scores for the

user.

The AN/DSQ-50A was designed for the installation in to all US Navy targets to acquire scoring

information on passing projectiles and missiles. This unit is ideally suited for installation in to

subscale targets where available space and weight are a concern. It is a non-cooperative, scalar

miss-distance indicator (MDI) system capable of providing near real-time, accurate miss-distance,

time, and closing velocity data for high altitude and low altitude intercept scenarios.

The AN/DSQ-50A operates against high performance missiles as well as ballistic projectiles as

small as 76 mm. It has the capability to operate in live-fire training mission environments containing

up to six target vehicles, with each vehicle equipped with a MDI system. Each MDI operates without

concern of interference from other MDIs. It consists of two functional elements; and MDI radar

sensor to acquire the scoring information and a telemetry transmitter downlink to send the scoring

information to a ground set.

Turn-Key Scoring System

Description

Scoring System

Data Sheet

The Micro Systems, Inc has developed an easy-to-use Miss Distance Scoring System that provides high

accuracy scoring with minimal training requirements. The system is a rugged complete scoring solution that is

field proven and ideal for gunnery training and weapons assessment for surface and dynamic airborne targets.

It is a highly portable system that can be easily set up and ready to support mission operations in less than 5

minutes.

Micro Systems offers a complete turn-key scoring system that includes the miss distance scoring ground

system and DSQ-50 scoring sensor. The scoring sensor transmits a Doppler radar signal and then detects the

radar reflection from a projectile as it passes by. The radar reflection data is then telemetered in real-time to

the miss distance ground system which allows the scoring system operator to analyze the data and determine

the miss distance score within seconds. This is a scalar system which enables the operator to determine how

close the projectile actually came to the target.

The Micro Systems scoring system is a necessity for advanced training and weapon assessment. Scoring

data is obtained by the system in seconds which provides for extremely efficient training and evaluation

missions. As a training tool users will get immediate feedback of their firing performance as well as objective

measurement weapon system operator skills. For weapon assessment the system can be used for high

resolution measurement of weapon accuracy allowing for firing adjustments to be made on the spot with little

to no delay.

Multi-Platform Vehicle Test Set (MPVTS)

Description

MPVTS

Data Sheet

The Multi-Platform Vehicle Test Set (MPVTS) is a self-contained portable equipment rack test

instrument for performing vehicle electrical system verification. MSI can develop a custom MPVTS

software application designed specifically to perform complete pre-mission verification of your

airborne, ground, or marine vehicle. The MPVTS is the first test set designed to be completely

vehicle platform independent.

The MPVTS is used to provide control and monitoring of the communication and input and/or

output (I/O) signals to and from various vehicle platforms. It can display vehicle telemetry and

system status while allowing the test operator to transmit vehicle commands in either direct link or

radiate mode. Radiate Mode is RF Communication for UHF or L-Band datalinks. An embedded RF

Power Meter can be used to measure signal strength of radiated datalink. Direct link uses Ethernet,

USB, RS-232, or RS-422. Multiple Analog and Relay I/O channels are available for monitoring and

providing stimulus to vehicle systems. The MPVTS can also provide power to vehicle systems for

testing and verification. An embedded Oscilloscope can be used to monitor any analog, discrete, or

power signals.

The MPVTS is a turn-key system can be used to perform full Go/No-Go vehicle verification in

either manual or automated test modes. All equipment is encased in a portable, ruggedized transit

case that is quick and easy to setup to support any mission requirements.

The Micro Systems Inc. 200W Dual Vehicle FTS was specifically designed for use with

Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV’s), missile systems and aerial target drones and is currently in

operation supporting various missions worldwide. Designed to be IRIG 313-01 and 319-07

compliant, it is a rack mount unit used for flight termination and command. The unit accepts AC

power and generates a modulated RF output FM signal suitable for interrogation of flight termination

receivers such as the Herley HFTR60 and a variety of command receiver/decoders.

The 200W Dual Vehicle FTS features two sets of command switches on the front panel for

MONITOR, ARM, and DESTRUCT to provide quick and easy emergency control of up to two

vehicles in flight. All command switches have protective switch covers to prevent unintentional

command initiation A battery backup module capable of providing back up power for up to 15

minutes can also be added to the system. From the control panel the operator can monitor

command status indicator lamps and there is also a panel meter for monitoring AC input power.

The 200W Dual Vehicle FTS internally generates command tones that modulate the synthesized

RF carrier to produce a 200 Watt (minimum) RF output. Upon power up, the system will immediately

transmit the carrier frequency and will continue to do so until the DESTRUCT command is issued.

The MONITOR and ARM switches can be toggled ON/OFF independently of each other to send the

corresponding command tone combinations listed on page 2 of this datasheet. To initialize the

DESTRUCT command the ARM command must first be initialized.

The Micro Systems Inc. Model CEE-XRXA5W was specifically designed for use with Unmanned

Aerial Vehicles (UAV’s), missile systems and aerial target drones and is currently in operation

supporting various missions worldwide. Designed to be IRIG 313-01 and 319-07 compliant, it is a

rack mount unit used for flight termination and command. The unit accepts AC power and generates

a modulated RF output FM signal suitable for interrogation of flight termination receivers such as the

Herley HFTR60 and a variety of command receiver/decoders.

The basic CEE-XRXA5W features a three tone switches on the front panel that can be factory set

to the frequencies of your choice. The unit also features thumbwheels switches for setting the carrier

frequency from 406 MHz to 450 MHz in 100 kHz steps as well as a carrier ON/OFF switch.

Internally generated command tones modulate the synthesized RF carrier to produce a 5 Watt

(minimum) RF output. Upon power up, the CEE-XRXA5W will immediately transmit the FM carrier

frequency and the three tone switches can be turned ON/OFF independently to allow the operator to

output any command tone sequence. There are many different variations of the unit available.

Individual tone selection, FTS command tone sequences, switch configuration, RF output power, and

many other options are available to meet any mission requirement.
