EVALUATION OF THE AIR-TO-AIR TACAN RANGING SYSTEM FIELD MODIFICATION KITS.
Abstract
Two methods of implementing air-to-air TACAN ranging via a field kit modificatio of radio set AN/ARN-21B were compared. One method followed closely the techniques previously employed by NAVAIRDEVCEN in the original airto-air TACAN ra ging conception. The other method utilized later state of the art techniques including a solid state modulator, to accomplish the same general results. The solid state approach was chosen as the preferred implementation, on the basis of laboratory and flight tests. A specification reflecting this approach was issued, and recommendations concerning fleet use were made. (Author)
