Abstract:
A ten-nanosecond-pulse, rapid-scan, X-band radar was designed, built, and installed aboard the USS MALOY EDE 791. The capability of this radar for submarine periscope detection was investigated. It was found that the high range resolution and rapid-scan features permitted resolution of individual waves and showed their growth, movement, and decay. Periscope detection and tracking capability were found to be superior to that of conventional search radars because of the ability to distinguish periscope radar return from that of the sea background. However, antenna configuration and low average power in the experimental radar limited tracking range to about 6000 yd. Author
