Abstract :
APL have developed a guidance system evaluation concept based on tracking signals received at a missile from a satellite-based navigation system. The designers have named this program SATRACK to emphasize its capability to receive, rebroadcast, record, and track the satellite signals. This article presents the SATRACK concept, along with the descriptions of various GPS translators, signal recording equipment, and the postflight processing facility.
