Telemetry standards for guided missiles

A standard in the field of telemetry for guided missiles was established in 1948, by the Committee on Guided Missiles of the Research and Development Board (RDB), Department of Defense, and thereafter was revised and extended as necessary as a result of periodic reviews of the Standard by the Committee's Working Group on Telemetering, Panel on Test Range Instrumentation. The last official RDB revision of the Standards was published as RDB report MTRI 204/6 dated November 8, 1951. Since the termination of the Research and Development Board organization, the Inter-Range Instrumentation Group Steering Committee, representing the major Department of Defense missile test ranges, has assigned the task of promulgating new or revised telemetry standards to the Inter-Range Telemetry Working Group (IRTWG). This publication is intended to accomplish this purpose.
