This paper describes the challenges in the acceptance and licensing of a mobile range safety system. The paper details, in particular, the Ballistic Missile Range Safety Technology (BMRST) System that has been developed by the Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL), Space Vehicle Directorate, Ballistic Missile Technology program. The BMRST Program is to develop and to demonstrate a 'certifiable' mobile launch range tracking and control system based upon the Global Positioning System (GPS) that can support military and commercial space launch vehicles for range safety applications. The BMRST System does provide precise remote position using the GPS and an Inertial Navigation System (INS). The BMRST equipment installed on-board the launch vehicle transmits information using an S band data link to two mobile ground tracking antenna systems that are part of the BMRST Mobile Operations Center (MOC). The BMRST also has a Command Destruct System (CDS) capability. The uniqueness of design and operation results in challenges for the acceptance/licensing process. This paper will outline and discuss the overall BMRST Acceptance/Licensing Program that includes various test and demonstration efforts. Coordination with the DoD ranges, the Range Commanders Council, and the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) will also be addressed.
