Evaluation of the Accuracy of Data Obtained from Fixed Cameras.
Abstract
The experiment described in this report was conducted to document the accuracy of data obtained from fixed cameras (attitude, pitch, and yaw; roll position; and trajectory, X, Y, and Z) at the Test and Reliability Evaluation Laboratory, Research and Development Directorate, U. S. Army Missile Command, Redstone Arsenal, Alabama, during the period 20 February to 30 June 1967. The primary interest was the yaw data obtained from cameras located on the yaw tower (approximately 400 ft above ground level). A model which represents a missile trajectory was set up at Test Area No. 1. The parameters (pitch, yaw, roll position, and trajectory) of the model were very accurately known and were traceable to the National Bureau of Standards. The data acquisition method was the same as that which is commonly used on a live missile test. The experimental results showed that the accuracies were well within the limits usually quoted by the Test and Reliability Evaluation Laboratory on data obtained from fixed cameras. (Author)
