TYPE TEST OF AN/APS-20A

Abstract

The AN/APS-20A is a high-powered Airborne Early Warning Radar System. It is capable of detecting and mapping targets located within the search horizon determined by the altitude of the airplane. The information thus obtained is reporduced on two PPI scopes within the plane; as well as being simultaneously relayed by radio relay equipment to some remote point, and being reproduced there. This report covers the temperature and electrical tests. Recommendations are made which will improve operation of the equipment.
