The installation of the required radio technologies to support this conversion, and the check-out of all sites at all ranges, was completed on Mar 31, 1970. This program was initiated to switch the telemetry systems at three missile test ranges from the “Very High Frequency Band” they were operating at to the “Ultra High Frequency Band” - a conversion that would help reduce the overcrowding of existing radio frequencies and allow for better updates over the next decade. On this date, Headquarters Air Force Systems Command (which merged with Air Force Logistics Command to form Air Force Materiel Command, or AFMC, in 1992) approved an Initial Operational Capability (IOC) date of for the “Conversion of Range Telemetry Systems,” or CORTS, program.
