Modified AN/AAD-2(XE-2) Infrared Detecting Set with Real-Time Inflight Display

Abstract

An AN/AAD-2(XE-2) Infrared Detecting Set (Reconofax IV, Mark IV) was adapted to operate with a modified IP-806/AAR-32 Terrain Display Indicator, installed in a VAP-61 RA-3B aircraft, and used over North Vietnam for road, waterway, and bridge reconnaissance. Strikes were called against transient targets based on information provided by the inflight display from January to August 1967 when the equipment was lost due to combat.
