Modified Reconofax VI Infrared Mapping Set with Real-Time Inflight Display

Abstract

A Reconofax VI infrared (IR) mapping set was modified to operate in the 8- to 13-micron IR band, provided with a long-persistence-phosphor cathode- ray-tube (B-scope) display, installed in a VAP-61 RA-3B aircraft, and used over North Vietnam for road, waterway, and bridge reconnaissance. Real-time tactics were developed, and strikes were called against transient targets based on information provided by the inflight display.
