Abstract
The radio frequency (RF) automation demonstration was conceived to gather data for a life cycle study to evaluate the cost and operational effectiveness of automation. The RF automation demonstration, as originally envisioned, performs a very important function of ‘‘qualifying’’ the system in that it checks both the necessary conditions (i.e. that the receive/transmit system can be configured and calibrated) and the sufficient conditions (by automatically acquiring the carrier and subcarrier). Continuous monitoring also allows realtime repair of those ‘‘necessary conditions’ (relay operation, references, etc.) so that the system can be maintained at a higher level of readiness than is now possible.
