Abstract:

The objective of this effort was to modify the RADC trajectory program orbit program and various radar cross section programs were modified to run on the RADC HIS 6180 computer under the GCOS system software. The RADC trajectory program was modified to include the capability of processing multiple 20 radar sites and multiple 20 targets in the program so that various radar parameters could be determined. This type of information is essential in performing radar coverage analyses for systems such as COBRA TALON, SEEK SAIL, COBRA DANE and COBRA JUDY. This portion of the effort is documented in Vol 1. Vol 2 documents a procedure for punching cards in ASCII format and reading the data onto a HP cassett for subsequent plotting with an HP 9820 calculator system. Vol 3 documents some Radar Signature and Radar Scattering computer programs. A three dimensional plot program contained in this volume has been incorporated into the Interactive Radar Simulator for plotting three dimensional antenna patterns and cross section aspect angle histories.
