TEST OF IBDA EQUIPMENT
Abstract
The primary objective of Project 6.4, Operation TEAPOT, was to gather engineering evaluation data for a complete Indirect Bomb Damage Assessment (IBDA) system installed in a B-50D type aircraft. The secondary objective was to determine the max imum geographical range of the yield-measuring component of the IBDA system, the Recording Set, Light and Time AN/ASH-4 (XA-1). The IBDA system tested consists of the standard Radar Set AN/APQ 24; a Bomb Damage Evaluation Group, AN/APA-106 (XA-1); a Recording Set, Light and Time, AN/ASH 4 (XA-1); and a K-17C Aircraft Camera. This is the system which was installed in the B-50. To accomplish the secondary objective two F-94 air craft were instrumented with one ASH-4 Recording Set and one A-4 Bomb-Spotting Camera each.
