Abstract
Tests were made of radar corner reflectors to determine: (a) The effectiveness of a radar corner reflector on a balsa life float for location of survivors of a Naval disaster by radar on plane and surface vessel; (b) The effectiveness of a radar corner reflector on a wooden life boat for location of survivors of a Naval disaster by radar on plane and surface vessel; (c) The relative effectiveness of the type MX137A and MX138A radar corner reflectors; (d) Improvement resulting from increasing the height of corner reflector; and, (e) Method of supporting a corner reflector on a balsa life float.
