FMSAEG P-3C Data Reduction Capabilities (Hotel Version).

Abstract

Two programs have been written to provide analysts with data listings and files to assist in reconstruction/analysis of P-3C missions. The programs convert binary coded data recorded by P-3C aircraft on seven track digital magnetic tape to alphnumeric values in analyst usable units or codes. These programs are used primarily during reconstruction of Fleet Exercises. However, they could be used to assist in analysis of P-3C performance for any project involving P-3C flights. One program outputs a formatted listing of sonobuoy drop and monitor times along with a data file containing buoy drop positions and aircraft location. The other program lists the radar operational status and builds a file of contacts made by the P-3C aircraft in addition to the aircraft location.
