OUTREACH MISSION TO South Africa and Australia

On September 19^th ICTS was invited to participate to the Flight Test Society of South Africa inaugural symposium in Capetown. Tim Chalfant, Gerhard Mayer and JC Ghnassia made a presentation on the problem of Telemetry band augmentation.(see annex 3).

We had also the chance to visit the Overberg Test Base , where we met the instrumentation and telemetry managers and practitioners, and had a very active discussion on the telemetry band augmentation questions.

A visit to the South African Air Show gave us the opportunity to meet several high rank managers, and to ask them to push as possible a South Africa contribution to the next CPM.We offered them any help from ICTS to support them for this contribution.

We want to thank very much all responsible we met, and who take on their time to welcome us and discuss.
