Results of Weathervane Test Series.
Abstract
During June of 1973 four ionospheric barium releases were made at the Kwajalein Missile Range (KMR). This test series, code-name Weathervane, is part of a larger research program code-named HAPREX (High-Altitude Propagation Experiment) that is investigating the use of barium plasma techniques as a means of measuring the performance of mitigating algorithms when applied to radars in a realistically perturbed environment. The principal objective of Weathervane was to establish the feasibility of conducting future experiments at KMR when a barium plasma cloud is placed so that raypaths between the radar and the target pass through the cloud. This objective was partially achieved. (Author)
