Strike Camera Survey

Abstract

The problem of photographically recording aircraft strikes is considered from the standpoint of the photographic instrumentation required. Emphasis is placed on recording guided weapon strikes during air-to-air encounters. Currently used and available techniques are enumerated and their advantages and disadvantages are discussed. Recommendations are made for continuing lines of investigation aimed at determining by test, the true usefulness of two of the techniques reviewed which are not currently in use. The appendices give background technical data on resolution required for aircraft detection, and optical problems involved in implementing the recommended techniques.
