Abstract
Instrumentation, Aerodynamics, Test methods, Vibration isolators, *Inertial navigation, Meteorology, Safety valves, Orifices, Rota tion, Launching, *Aerial cameras, Recovery, *Aerial photography, *Digital computers, At mosphere, *Military intelligence, Haze. Open-ended Terms: AN/USD-4, Panoramic cameras, AN/USD-5. The investigation is concerned with U.S. Army airborne reconnaissance systems in the 1960-70 time period, and includes: (1) flight test planning for the AN/USD-4 and AN/USD-5 systems, (2) advisory services concerning AN/USD-4 and AN/USD-5 design, and (3) the following phases of performance model development: (a) a method for combining aircraft motions of rotation and translation, (b) investigation of image motions due to a finite slit width, (c) computation of atmospheric haze properties, and (d) comparison of images produced on the image synthesizer with characteristics predicted by the computer.
