The CXR-2 and CXR-3 NANCY Infra-Red Receivers
Abstract
The CXR-2 NANCY infra-red image receiver was designed to permit air to air and air to surface identification for the pilot of a fighter plane. It differed from other receivers mainly in the eyepiece which consisted of the optics of the Mark-8 aircraft reflector gunsight and permitted great freedom for motion for the pilot's head. The CXR-3 was similar but used a larger objective and was designed for air to air and air to surface identification in multiplace aircraft. Complete laboratory and field data for the receivers are given and possible improvements are discussed.
