Abstract:

A Television Instrumentation System provides a data gathering and reduction system for use in the Harpoon Anti-Ship Missile Captive Flight Test Program being conducted at Pt. Mugu, California. The system is installed in an aircraft test bed that simulates the flight path of the Harpoon missile. The data are used to provide information concerning target acquisition, hit probability, miss distance, track noise, and ECCM performance. The systems electronic circuitry design and operational performance are described.
