Fixed Ground Antenna Radome (FGAR) Type VNl Operational Test and Evaluation (OT&E) Operational Test Final Report.

Abstract

This report documents the Operational Test and Evaluation (OT&E) Operational testing performed on the Type V/VI, Fixed Ground Antenna Radome (FGAR) First Article. The Type V/VI FGAR replaces the original radome at Air Route Surveillance Radar (ARSR) - 3 sites. This testing was performed on the Federal Aviation Administration's (FAA) Southern Region's Newport, Mississippi (MS) ARSR-3 En Route Radar Facility (QNM). The testing was limited to electromagnetic performance characteristics evaluation. Electromagnetic performance data was collected by the Memphis Air Route Traffic Control Center (ARTCC) (ZME), the only ARTCC which receives Newport ARSR-3 En Route Radar Facility (QNM) data. The testing showed no degradation of the antenna electromagnetic patterns. The testing demonstrated that the FGAR meets the Operational Suitability and Operational Effectiveness requirement of the FAA.
