CATEGORY II TEST OF METEOROLOGICAL RADAR SET AN/FPS-68

Abstract

The results of research per ormed on the meteorological radar set, AN/FPS-68, that as received for evaluation by the Air Force, are provided. Due to the lack of operational data from the installation at AFCRL-GRD, Maynard, Massachusetts, additional data were obtained from the installation at L. G. Hanscom Field, Massachusetts, and included in the analysis. Included in t e analysis are the results of the operational tests, uman factors engineering review, and the reliability study on the AN/FPS-68. It is concluded that the AN/FPS-68 demonstrated its feasibility as an operational tool, and that development of the improved model AN/FPS-77(V) is desirable. (Author)
