Development of a Hybrid Radar Landmass Simulator
Abstract
Previous work performed by Pennsylvania Research Associates Inc. for the United States Naval Training Device Center demonstrated the technical and economic feasibility of a radar landmass simulator using a general-purpose computer. The computer operates on digitally stored data, and, through selected hybrid equipments including a scan conversion tube, produces the radar video signal. The present report is the final report under this contract. It summarizes the system design presented in previous reports. In addition, it describes the preparation of the culture data for the simulator. The data was digitized from maps and then joined together by means of a computer program. Finally some experiments on region size to determine the adequacy of PRA methods of terrain representation to handle long ranges were performed and the results reported here.
