Abstract:

The ASG Radar Equipment is the S band airborne radar system designed for use in lighter-than air-aircraft. It is relatively small in size weighing altogether 268.3 lbs. exclusive of cabling. There are two main units, the transmitter-converter-antenna assembly, and the receiver-indicator unite. In addition to this are the Remote PPI and the remote tuning control. The XASG is a preliminary model of the ASG and differs from it only in minor details.
