Introduction
 Satrack receives, rebroadcast , records &
tracks the satellite signals.
 Guidance systems.
 Data use as Error model.
 Integrated with Every weapon System
 Provides the Post-Flight processing System.
Why Satrack need ?

 Early
weapon system depended on the
impact of scoring techniques.
 Accuracy was less.
 Lack of accuracy in flight test Environment.
 Broad ocean test ranges.
 Lack of progressive Hardware & Software.
How Satrack works ?
 Hardware required

 Share Processor
 Data Simulation
 Telemetry
 Satracker
Telemetry
 Telemetry is an automated communication
process by which measurements and other
data are collected at remote or inaccessible
points and transmitted receiving equipment
for monitoring. The word is derived from Greek
roots: tele = remote, and metron =measure
Satracker

 Data is accessible via the internet through

C3 location
 Configurable using laptop or PDA
SHARC PROCESSOR

 The SHARC is unique in that its internal

memory is capable of holding a large
program as well a large amount of data
 It is designed for point to point connection
 SHARC has 6 link point to point connection
 EVOLUTION
 SATRACK 1 : A technology project to develop and
demonstrate the instrumentation and processing
system using the Trident I missile(1973-1983)
 SATRACK 2 : The operational system designed to
meet system requirements for the Trident II
missile(1983-present)
 SATRACK 3 :Current system upgrade and future applications.
Future Directories

 Batch mode processing

 Full digital Implementation
 Evaluation Capability for cumulative flight
accuracy
 Flexible architecture receiver
Field support equipment
 SATRACK is the most useful tool because of its post
flight processing facility .The ground equipment
consists of receiving antenna, data recorder and
auxiliary reference timing systems. The equipment
receives the translated GPS signal along with other
telemetry signals and distributes it to the data
recorder. Most ground stations are capable of
generating a precise atomic timing standard.
PORTABLE GROUND EQUIPMENT
 This hardware is used for the post flight processing and
tracking of the satellite signals. The SATRACK facility
processes the raw data into a time series of range and
Doppler measurements for each satellite, and the Kalman
filter, which incorporates various corrections and generates a
navigation solution for the missile. The system has undergone
a lot of redesign and development as the requirements
evolved with new type of translators and receivers. The latest
system processes the wideband L1/L2 signals dual frequency
P-code as required by wide band translators
Applications

 The best flight path for aircrafts

during post flight processing.
provides error guidance model
 Orbitary Determination of Vehical tracking
 In the Satellite Communication used as recorder
guidance system , and interpreter
Conclusion
 SATRACK is a significant contributor to the successful
development of and operational success of the
trident weapons and system
 Itprovides a unique monitoring function that is critical to
the maintenance of strategic weapon system
 The development of SATRACK looks forward to the
implementation of the low cost Missile test kit.other
main development from this technology was the
development of sophisticated tools from optimal
target patterning
