The TelSim All-in-one Telemetry simulation environment is designed to solve your mission simulation, telemetry ground system testing, and training needs in a turnkey package. It can be configured for anything from simple pattern generation to complex interactive modeling or real-time automated control sequences

Traditionally, telemetry "simulation" is performed using playback of previously recorded data or rudimentary pattern generation. Using this static telemetry strategy for testing is limited, and does not provide the range of data dynamics needed for thorough ground systems testing without expending significant effort to generate test data sets. The limitations of static telemetry simulation are even greater when applied to mission dress rehearsals and operator training and certification.

TelSim provides dynamic real-time telemetry simulation using automated reactive control or via simple user interaction.

Operational organizations need a capability to enhance personnel readiness without impacting availability of operational assets, one that can accommodate a full range of realistic nominal and non-nominal mission scenarios. Incorporation of TelSim's telemetry simulation capability will:

• Reduce time to achieve and maintain operator competency
• Improve operator performance
Provide a means of measuring operator competence
• Provide an engineering analysis tool for refinement of ground systems technologies, processes, and methods of operation

The TelSim provides real-time generation of IRIG 106 compliant telemetry, and is capable of fully independent operation that can be plugged-in to any telemetry ground station as a headless server, or with a fully interactive multi-user graphical user interface. The integrated simulation environment is user configurable to facilitate:

• Missing element models for test and integration
• Experimentation with ground operations approaches
• Interactive operations crew training (nominal & non-nominal dynamics)
• End-to-end mission simulations and dress rehearsals

The TelSim modeling engine allows a systems engineer to quickly create interactive models using a point and click GUI or high level scripting language. A programming library is also available that supports the integration of 3rd party modeling tools such as MATLAB, or custom developed software models. The environment allows simulations to be scalable in their fidelity so they can operate stand alone, or integrated with other models to create large-scale mission simulations. TelSim also supports telemetry acquisition, processing, and recording for mission playback and replay of post decom data with simulation models.
