The Joint Base Lewis McChord (JBLM) Wide Area Multilateration (WAM) contract will provide JBLM Range Support and Gray Army Airfield (GAAF) Airspace Information Center (AIC) real-time displays of cooperative aircraft position, altitude, discrete transponder code, speed, and bearing while the aircraft are operating at low altitude in the JBLM Tactical Terrain Flight Training Area (TTFTA). The altitudes routinely flown by JBLM aircraft operating within the TTFTA are from the surface to 300 feet Above Ground Level. A WAM system overcomes the radar limitation of terrain obscuration by utilizing a network of aircraft surveillance sensors installed within and in the vicinity of the area in which surveillance coverage is required. The JBLM WAM system will consist of interrogator/receiver remote units, receiver only remote units, target processor(s), remote control and monitoring display terminal, external communications ports, and aircraft target displays at both JBLM Range Support and GAAF AIC. This effort includes a site survey, purchase of equipment composing the WAM system, installation of the system, and training.
