Unattended/Minimally Attended Radar Study. Volume I. Executive Summary.
Abstract
The Executive Summary is a very short synopsis of the Unattended/Minimally Attended Radar Study to investigate the exploratory and advance development activities necessary to support the development of Unattended and Minimally Attended Radars. The study looked at several 2-D and 3-D radar designs. The primary considerations were high reliability and low-life cycle cost, with the additional constraint that the 2-D Unattended Radars were to use no more than approximately 500 W of prime power. The conclusion of the study is that the technology is available, in 1977, to permit development of Unattended (for 1 to 3 months) 2-D radars and Minimally Attended (3 radar maintenance men) 3-D Radars. Designs are discussed in the report which permit the 2-D radar to perform its mission while utilizing only 400 W of prime power. (Author)
