Expanded Little Ida, Experimental Program and Results

Abstract

The report provides some preliminary information pertaining to experimental studies that are being conducted to provide accurate estimates of the major environmental factors required for over-the-horizon system design. The Expanded Little Ida Program is a continuation, and an expansion of the efforts carried out under AF30(602)-3360, Dispersive Characteristics of the Ionosphere. The four major experiments that are being conducted on this expanded program are Mode Reliability, Mode Loss, Azimuth Angle of Arrival, and Noise/Interference. A description of the Experimental Program, and some preliminary findings are presented in this report.
