OPTIMUM FREQUENCY STUDY FOR ARMY WEATHER RADAR AND RANGE TRACKING SYSTEM.

Abstract

The choice of X-band frequencies for the mobile weather radar and automatic artillery atmospheric sounding set and such considerations as size, weight, rainfall attenuations, rainfall effects on target tracking, and effective data collection periods are discussed. The mobile tactical operational concepts in using the weather radar for maximum effectiveness are included. A comparison is made of detectability and attenuation effects of rain, using various frequencies. (Author)
