Range and Tracking Accuracy of AN/APG-15B
Abstract
Flights to test the range and tracking accuracy of AN/APG-15B radar airborne detector were made in a TB-24 bombing plane with various planes as targets. The film record of readings of radar range dials and oscilloscopes was compared with the photographs of the target planes taken from the tail of the bomber. Analysis shows that the AN/APG-15B measures air-to-air range as well as photographic sighting. It was established that the tracking or gun pointing accuracy is unaffected by the computer. An approximate linear relation is indicated between scope and target deflection.
