Core Capabilities of JARSS

JARSS MP is a graphical user interface tool bench that provides tools and utilities used for range safety planning and risk analysis for space launch, reentry and unmanned aerial vehicles.  JARSS RT provides a real-time graphical situational awareness display for landing vehicles.  These systems combined are used to reduce and mitigate risk to the public and high value assets.

Understanding JARSS

Fully integrated tool for launch, reentry and unmanned aerial vehicles pre-mission flight planning and real-time operations

What Is It

A safety planning tool

JARSS

  • A graphical user interface tool bench
  • Used for range safety planning and risk analysis
  • Applies to space launch, reentry, unmanned aerial systems
  • graphical situational awareness display for landing vehicles
  • reduce and mitigate risk to the public and high value assets

Who Uses It

National Test Ranges

JARSS

  • United States Air Force 30th Space Wing (30SW)
  • United States Air Force 45th Space Wing (45SW)
  • Edwards Air Force Base Support Personnel

How Does It Work

Customized software suite

JARSS

  • Ingests multiple data formats including: vehicle trajectories, fragments, weather, and population files.
  • Allows the operator to create limits, turns and mission outcome models tailored to the mission needs.
  • Creates the mission background data.
  • Ingests live telemetry data and calculates probability of impact contours and data loss flight time.
  • Displays the present position and vacuum impact position of the vehicles.
  • Displays vehicle attitude graphic, XY plots, system status and vehicle events.

Where Is It Used

National Test Ranges

JARSS

  • The Eastern Range (ER)
  • The Western Range (WR)
  • Edwards Air Force Based (EAFB)

What Are The Benefits

A launch vehicle safety planning tool

JARSS

  • Uses the innovative Julier-Uhlmann approach.
  • Calculates debris impact dispersions faster and more efficiently than traditional Monte Carlo method.
  • Probability of Impact (Pi) calculates range safety critical estimation of causality data.
  • Computes Data Loss Flight Time (DLFT) table used by MFCO in the event of loss of telemetry data.
  • Computes areas caused by a vehicle breakup.
  • Provides a time buffer prior to sending the destruct signal to the vehicle, avoiding unnecessary destruction of a vehicle due to data drop outs.
  • Ingests live telemetry data and provides situational awareness of a vehicle.
  • Provides present and vacuum positions, using data displays, plots and world view 3-D graphics.

Two Versions of JARSS

JARSS Mission Planning (JARSS MP)

JARSS MP

Used for pre-mission planning as a graphical user interface tool bench that provides tools and utilities used for range safety planning and risk analysis for space launch, reentry and unmanned aerial vehicles. 

JARSS Real-Time
(JARSS RT)

JARSS RT

Is used in real-time during live-fire launches, vehicle re-entry from outer space, or UAS flights to provide real-time graphical situational awareness displays and trajectory parameters.
