| Authors:

|
 | The exoatmospheric target signature code (EXOSIG), a segment of the Optical Signatures Code (OSC), is designed to calculate the optical signatures of targets (reentry vehicles, decoys, etc.) during exoatmospheric flight. EXOSIG is divided into nine distinct sections, two of which supply information to the remaining sections and not to the user of the code. These two routines (TARG and EARTH) are, therefore, presented as appendixes rather than in the main ... |

| AFETR Metric Data Accuracy for Guidance Evaluation. |
DEC 1969 |
|
| Authors:
PAN AMERICAN WORLD AIRWAYS INC PATRICK AFB FL AEROSPACE SERVICES DIV
|
| The report describes the evolution over the past ten years of ground-based instrumentation for the evaluation of inertial guidance systems. The present capability of accuracies in the measurement of component velocities of 0.04-0.06 ft/sec is discussed in terms of the total system components involved in the achievement of such accuracies. Included are discussions of the basic trackers (Mistram and MRS Vans), timing and frequency standards, software for post-flight best estimate ... |

| Authors:
PAN AMERICAN WORLD AIRWAYS INC PATRICK AFB FL
|
| This handbook contains information of interest to readers of signature data reports prepared by RCA Signature Processing at the Air Force Eastern Test Range. The information includes descriptions of the ARIS radar systems, the reduction procedures, and the related mathematical routines as referenced in the radar signature data reports. As new chapters are prepared they will be made available by revision. The preliminary report on work in progress was originally ... |

|
| Authors:
Richard M. Helfand; AIR FORCE EASTERN TEST RANGE PATRICK AFB FL DATA PROCESSING DIV
|
| This report contains papers on the following subjects: reduction, analysis, and interpretation of signature data; the BSD Data Correlation Facility; telemetry reduction techniques; the explanation and use of the GLAD program at the Range for reduction of metric data and systems analysis; the ORCAL program being used for orbit determination; and the Range Instrumentation and Calibration Program to be conducted by NRD.

| THE ACCURACY F AMR INSTRUMENTATION, |
13 DEC 1963 |
|
| Authors:
H. P. Mann; RCA SERVICE CO PATRICK AFB FLA
|
| The annual summary statements of the accuracy of Atlantic Missile Range Tracking Instrumentation are presented in this report. The statements are based on studies conducted by RCA systems analysis. The report also provides a detailed discussion of the definition of errors encountered in tracking system evaluations, methods and techniques used to estimate errors, specific AMR methodologies including data analysis flow diagrams and a discussion f the variance - covariance error ... |

| VIBRATION CONTROL IN THE AZUSA TRANSPONDER HOUSING, |
NOV 1961 |
|
| Authors:
J. Frankowski; GENERAL DYNAMICS/ASTRONAUTICS SAN DIEGO CALIF
|
| The report describes the development of a sandwich structure to reduce vibration amplitude, also to move to a safe region the resonant frequency of the aluminum Azusa Transponder Housing during firing and in flight of the Atlas missile. A sandwich structure comprising the transponder floor and cover plate facings, bonded to an aluminum honeycomb core was found to lower substantially the vibration amplitude and moves the resonant frequency towards the ... |

| PROCESSING AND ANALYSIS OF AZUSA MARK II DATA, |
10 JUN 1960 |
|
| Authors:
A. Saastad; F. C. Forbes; GENERAL DYNAMICS/ASTRONAUTICS SAN DIEGO CA
|
| This document is written to provide a basic reference for the mathematics and to a degree, procedures for reducing and analyzing Azusa Mark II data. An effort has been made to avoid abstruse and unnecessarily complicated mathematics, yet to delineate as clearly as practical the nature and use of each Azusa parameter. The development of the text passes successively from a brief description of the Azusa system geometry to the ... |

| LONG RANGE BEHAVIOR OF A WIDE PULSE RANGING SYSTEM, |
30 JUN 1959 |
|
| Authors:
R. W. Ehmann; GENERAL DYNAMICS/ASTRONAUTICS SAN DIEGO CA
|
| The purpose of the study was to determine if use of wide pulses will permit Azusa to resolve ambiguities in a simple manner to lunar distances. The report describes the typical system, isolates the most critical factors, outlines the difficulties, and determines the systems limitations in terms of the parameters used. (Author) |
