Abstract:

The contract demonstrated the technical feasibility of using a microwave data link to remote radar data from a helicopter supported radar to ground terminal at a slant range of ten nautical miles. Ground and airborne tests demonstrated the data link subsystem and system performance for operation in a helicopter UH-IF environment at an aaltitude of 5,000 feet. Flight tests proved performance of the data link made the system operable. Author
