Rapid-Scan Antenna Study for Naval Short-Range Self-Defense Missile System

Abstract

The Engineering Experiment Station at the Georgia Institute of Technology performed a conceptual study of millimeter-wave scanning antennas which might be applicable to the acquisition problem of a naval point defense system. The study covered such related areas as component availability, increased antenna requirements due to multipath, atmospheric absorption, and rain attenuation, and scan speed and format needed to acquire the targets of interest.
