INVESTIGATION INTO THE DRIFT ACCURACY OF BLUE JACKET
Abstract
The Blue Jacket installation consists of an antenna system, transmitter/receiver unit (T/R), navigational computer, and indicator unit. The drift accuracy of Blue Jacket, which earlier had been found unsatisfactory, took place between May and August 1962 and involved a total of 53 hours flying during which 40 assessable accuracy runs were completed. The accuracy of the equipment under test proved satisfactory (mean across track error 0.20 deg R (SD = 0.30 deg), mean along track error 0% (SD = 0.30%), although the number of suspect flights due to equipment unserviceabilities was high.
