Initial Software for EMPASS EP-3A Digital System

Abstract

A digital system developed to support the Electromagnetic Performance of Air and Ship Systems (EMPASS) Project as NSWC/DL is reported. The airborne system consists of RF receivers and antennas with special relays and interface units which allow a UNIVAC 1830A computer to interrogate and control them. Aircraft position, RF signal, and system status measurements are recorded digitally on magnetic tape while operator displays are provided for some immediate data analysis and system monitoring. The software for this data acquisition system was designed and developed at NSWC/DL and is currently being used on test and measurement missions of the EMPASS aircraft. (Author)
