Test Range Instrumentation
Setting the Standard for Performance and Reliability

View the Data Sheet (pdf)

L-3 Brashear is the leading supplier of precision tracking mounts and optical instrumentation systems designed for rigorous use on the test ranges. Weapon or aircraft system performance verification on the test range is a very critical and challenging phase during the development of these sophisticated defense systems.  

L-3 Brashear consistently meets these rigorous challenges of the test range environment by creating durable, reliable systems that integrate precision optics with smooth, accurate positioning systems along with the integration of the latest target sensing and data recording techniques.

Test range instrument systems must accurately provide TSPI (Time, Space, Position Information) on targets along their trajectories but must also differentiate the targets from cluttered background data. In the field, these demands are often complicated by extreme weather conditions and the need for mobility.

Since the early 1950's, first Contraves and now L-3 Brashear have delivered over 600 range instruments -- more than anyone else in the world.  These systems include the Cinetheodolites, Mobile Optical Measurement Systems (MOMS), Distant Object Attitude Measurement Systems(DOAMS), Tracking Pedestals and Kineto Tracking Mounts (KTM); our KTMs are considered the “workhorse” of today's test ranges.
