Some Characteristics of a Proposed Conical-Scan Radar Homing Equipment for the Skylark Missile

Abstract

A discussion is given of a conical-scan radar homing equipment for application to the Skylark Missile. Theoretical range calculations are presented for a passive homing system showing that with an SNB target at 30 miles range to a ground control radar (type SP-1M) it is possible to track the target with the missile-borne radar homing system at a conservative 6-mile range.
