Preliminary Report on Tests of Reflecting Material as a Radar Countermeasure

Abstract

Tests were made on radar echoes from Window at the Naval Research Laboratory Chesapeake Bay Station on March 8 and 9, 1943. Observations were made on five radar equipments: CXBQ (3.2 cm) Mark X (10 cm), FD (700 mc), CXAZ (400 mc) and Japanese (100 mc). Motion picture records were taken on all except the Japanese Radar. It was requested that this laboratory conduct tests on various reflectors which may be ejected from aircraft to determine the effectiveness of such reflectors as a radar countermeasure in various frequency ranges.
