2、 within the test and evaluation community think it is time to consid-er the quantities ofdata that will be collected in the future and actions that can be taken now to han-dle them.This article analyzes historical trends in several areas of data acquisition.The originalmotivation for this analysis r
3、elated to the decreasing ability to meet telemetry needs with limitedradio frequency spectrum.Specifically,the authors sought to determine the worst-case deficiencybetween what they would like to telemeter and what they can telemeter.The answer to the question,“How much would we telemeter if we had
