Anti-Aircraft Fire Control Studies - Testing Methods and Apparatus
Abstract
The investigation of fire control problems in general is authorized by Bureau of Ordnance Project 30199 as covered by reference letter from the Bureau of Ordnance to the Naval Research Laboratory, C-S67-7(Re4f) dated August 31, 1942. This includes comprehensive tests on directors and computers. To study such problems the Naval Research Laboratory has organized a Fire Control Section in the Radio Division. The procedures adopted by this section for testing directors evolved from cooperative efforts by engineers and officers of the laboratory and the Bureau of Ordnance through actual conduct of tests on a new anti-aircraft director. This director was an early production unit which had seen some service prior to test and required certain modifications which were not made at the time of test. The curves shown, therefore, serve to illustrate the method rather than to evaluate the director.
