Power Generation and Distribution Design Criteria Evaluations for a Mobile Air Traffic Control Complex

This paper outlines the procedures, criteria and evaluations that were considered in the development of a power generation and distribution system for a mobile air traffic control system. By conducting the study in conjunction with other study groups charged with the responsibility of designing and selecting the electronic equipment necessary for this system, a completely compatible generation and distribution system was developed. Even though developed for this particular application, the power system is sufficiently flexible to be adaptable to other portable electronic systems. The research reported in this paper was sponsored by the Air Force Cambridge Research Laboratories, Office of Aerospace Research, under contract AF 19(604)8015.
