Test Report for AN/FPS-124 Field Testing of False Reports Study

Abstract

This report describes the test results obtained at Barter Island, Alaska, for the AN/FPS-124 Unattended Radar (UAR) field testing of the mission software modifications developed during the Reduction of False Reports Study. Field tests were conducted at the Bar-Main site from August 14, 1990 to August 21,1990. The field testing consisted of false report rate measurements, probability of reporting using a towed sphere, and target probability of reporting during high turn rate (high g) maneuvers. With the mission software patches installed, there was an improvement in the false target report rate and in the probability of target reporting during high g maneuvers. The towed sphere tests showed that the system sensitivity, with the modified mission software installed, meets the North Warning System specification requirements.
