The Western Aeronautical Test Range (WATR) is charged with supporting NASA aeronautics research flight test activities. Specifically the WATR provides telemetry/radar tracking, data acquisition, realtime processing, data display, and communication for all flight test activity at the NASA Dryden Flight Research Center.

The mission of the NASA Dryden Western Aeronautical Test Range is to support the flight research programs undertaken by the Dryden Flight Research Center and other users by supplying a comprehensive set of test support facilities for the control and monitoring of all flight test activities; for the real-time acquisition and reduction of test data; and for the effective communication of information and data to flight and ground crews.

DISCLAIMER: This information is intended to give sufficient insight into the present capabilities of the WATR to enable users to plan a test program that will make maximum use of the services provided at the NASA Dryden WATR. It is intended that an earnest effort will be made to keep the information current. Therefore, users of this information can expect updates of individual sections from time to time.
