Multienvironment Active RF Seeker Test and Evaluation Program (MARFS TEST).

Abstract

The MARFS seeker is a 17 GHz circularly-polarized 10-watt pulsed solid-state seeker employing polarization agility, monopulse tracking, and polarization diverse signal processing. It was determined, at that time, that extensive tower and captive flight tests would be required to establish the usefulness of this particular seeker design and to collect data enabling further developments of detection and tracking algorithms. This report describes the support provided during these tests. It lists the tests supported, the alterations made, the maintenance performed, and the additional problems that were encountered.
