IOT and E of an AWADS Radar Imagery Recorder
Abstract
MAC Project 74C-110U was conducted to evaluate the prototype adverse weather aerial delivery system radar imagery recorder installed in a C-130 aircraft. The primary purpose of the project was to determine the operational effectiveness and suitability of the prototype recorder system for use in navigator ground training, radar prediction, and reconnaissance/intelligence gathering. Specific objectives were to determine whether the system provides imagery of such quality that radar returns are readily identifiable, whether the system can be installed in the aircraft without hindering operations, and the operational suitability of the navigator-operated controls. Additional specific objectives were to determine whether the system can record all range marks, heading marks, and cursors; whether the system records sufficient information to identify aircraft location; and whether the system is capable of operating at altitudes up to and including 25,000 feet above mean sea level with the aircraft pressurized and unpressurized.
