	+ ATP Home + Flight Research    Facilities Home		The WATR Mission Control Center is configured with as many as 26 test engineering stations (including stripcharts), communications (radio and intercom) panels, video monitors, weather data, IRIG-B timing, and special graphics displays. Range and mission control, test operations, range safety and test-director consoles provide critical analysis and display capabilities. The WATR has a variety of mobile systems available for rapid deployment to a specified location on very short notice. These systems provide radio-frequency communication, video and telemetry-tracking support. The mobile operations system can process and display data onsite, or reformat data and transmit it to a customer’s facility.   Above: Dryden's HD LRO camera sits atop a tower located at the midpoint of Edwards Air Force Base runways 04 and 22. The new tower enhances the capability of WATR's video support of range activity.
