Model 53 Portable Test Set

The Model 53 Test Set is a portable version of the MONTAGE GPS-based Target Control System Test Set(MONTAGE). The Model 53 Test Set provides a modern Windows-based computer environment for verification of target drones prior to launch. The Test Set provides convenient menu-driven, drop down displays on its built-in daylight-readable LCD screen. The Test Set displays all target telemetry and system status while allowing the test operator to transmit target commands in either direct link or radiate mode. The unit contains its own GPS base receiver, allowing it to verify all Transponder GPS functions.

The Model 53 Test Set is ruggedized and completely sealed for use outside or in a hangar environment where the target electrical checks and engine run tests are performed prior to launch. The Model 53 Test Set also provides a go/no go test function for verifying Transponders on the bench, and can be used to verify Ground Station components (i.e., System Control Console, Target Control Console, etc.) using the built-in Ethernet Interface.
