Operational and Technical Evaluation of the Full Digital Automated Radar Terminal Systems (ARTS) Display (FDAD).

Abstract

This report discusses the operational and technical evaluation of the Full Digital Automated Radar Terminal Systems (ARTS) Display (FDAD). The FDAD was capable of providing data entry, data display, data refresh, and input/output functions of either ARTS II, ARTS III, or ARTS IIIA computer. Three different cathode-ray tube phosphors, including color, were evaluated. Data were displayed either in a full-digital mode or a time-share mode. During the time-share mode, the display of digital data was time shared with analog radar/beacon target reports. Modifications to software, hardware, and display firmware would be required to make the FDAD's operationally suitable. The technical evaluation conditionally accepts the displays, as tested, and it recommends their use as field displays, provided certain modifications are made. (Author)
