MONTHLY PROGRESS REPORT # 13
TERRAIN AVOIDANCE RADAR SYSTEM
PROGRESS FOR THE MONTH OF JUNE 1958
Bench testing of all units except the "X" scope has been completed.
So much difficulty was encountered with pickup on long leads in the tfX s.o
e
sweep chassis that it was decided to rebuild this chassis. Assembly of thep
rebuilt unit is nearing completion.
Assembly of the breadboard system in the new roof lab location was
completed. Some further reduction of interference was achieved. The
mance in the new location was much improved. Satisfacto peofor-
terrain with.good resolution was achieved. The radio towers ateAnnapol.is,
located about 16 miles away were identified on the display. Aircraft flying
through the beam and taxiiing around the airport were displayed. The bread-
board optical system did not present an image wi,th.adequate brightness.
The supplier gave up on the two color tube as they could not achieve the
brightness improvement predicted. A crude breadboard optical system using
mirrors and a dichroic was made. up at Westinghouse. This presented an image
of adequate brightness with no parallax error. The final model optical
system was received. It presents an image 5 or 6 times as bright as the
breadboard optical system since the lenses are that much larger. An effort
will be made to incorporate a reflective system into one of the optical
systems for comparison.
