Operating Blue Force Tracker (BFT-1 and BFT-2) from ground and aviation vehicles, system engineers conducted a channel sharing aviation mobility operational test at the Communications-Electronics Research, Development and Engineering Center (CERDEC) Army aviation facility “hang 5” located at Joint Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst, N.J. on Jan. 27. Transmitting from BFT-1 and BTF-2 aviation transceivers underneath the rotors of a UH-60M (Blackhawk), system engineers gathered data including position reports. The channel assessment is intended to provide more comprehensive performance data of mobile and aviation platforms. By operating within the same satellite channel will provide Program Manager Mission Command (PM MC) flexibility to significantly reduce commercial satellite lease cost by combining currently disparate channels.
