AN/ASQ-1 Magnetic Airborne Detection Equipment

Abstract

The AN/ASQ-1 magnetic airborne detection equipment is discussed herein. The equipment is used to locate submerged submarines by detecting the small local changes produced by the submarines in the magnetic fields of the earth. The AN/ASQ-1 was designed on the basis of experience gained in the construction, testing, and operation of a substantial number of the previous models (MAD Mark IV-B2). The new equipment is smaller in size, lighter in weight, and comprises fewer individual units. Also all controls are on one unit, making it more convenient. information pertinent to performance characteristics of the detector system and the stabilizer system is contained in graphic form, and photographs show the location of units In the various types of airplanes.
