Report on Operational Tests of Special "Chaff" Developed by Radio Research Laboratory, Harvard University
Abstract
Tests of "Chaff" as a radar countermeasure were made at the Naval Research Laboratory Chesapeake Bay Station on 7 and 9 April 1943. The material (Chaff) was prepared at Radio Research Laboratories, Harvard University, Cambridge, Mass., and tests were made using the radar and other facilities of the NRL Chesapeake Bay Station, under the general direction of personnel from Radio Research Laboratories. Strong echo signals were observed from quantities of "Chaff" varying from 500 to 2,000 strips, of length resonant at the radar operating frequency. A record was made of the radar operators observations, and motion pictures were taken of the echo signals.
