Conclusion

• Direct comparison of performance shown for the link  budgets– Extrapolation for what to expect on future Regional Constellations

• All 3 constellations are targeting the same cross section– Vastly different cube configurations and spoiling have been implemented

• All 2012 Contributor Models are included in Backups– Some model improvements if better divergence, weather, NP duration (full 

300 sec or truncated?), exact shots fired were available, N‐sigma editing – Is there any tilt on the Inclined COMPASS tray?– Relative performance can be directly extracted

• Target Signature– Is there enough points per normal point for removal?– Is there enough data for accurate OD?
