ANALYSIS OF PERFORMANCE OF ATC RADAR BEACON SYSTEM IN SATIN

Abstract

The Federal Aviation Agency is investigating the use of the SAGE air defense system for enroute air-traffic control. The program of SAGEAIR TRAFFIC INTEGRATION AND THE EXPERIMENTAL SYSTEM USED IN THIS PROGRAM IS KNOWN AS SATIN. A beacon code-usage plan that provides for display filtering in both manual and automatic systems is developed. The performance of the AN/FST-2 as a beacon data processor is analyzed. The performance includes target detection, release, center marking, and code readout. Deficiencies in code-readout performance are indicated and possible remedies are suggested. The code- processing performance of the AN/FSQ-7 is analyzed and determined to be adequate when the AN/FST-2 deficiencies are corrected.
