Electronic Countermeasures, Research - Development Report Sep51-Apr52 R1 of 3
Wright-Patterson AFB, Dayton, Ohio
B-36 taking off & in flight. Narr: Aircraft Radiation Laboratory is responsible for development of electronic reconnaissance analysis, jamming & deception systems.
10:31:02 Man beside Panoramic radio receiver, R-355/ARR-8A. Describes sweeping bands & presenting on cathode ray tube. Takes apart and parts named.
10:32:25 Signal generator used to show function & display.
10:33:08 Radar direction-finding assembly: APA-17B Signal Analysis Research Equipment described & antenna shown in operation w/ coaxial cable & pattern shown on cathode ray tube.
10:34:33 Sectorized receiving elements shown w/ 14 horns to cover 360 degrees and to be flush mounted on aircraft to reduce drag. Shown mounted on plate w/ cables out of vertical & horizontal antennas. Amplifiers allow display on cathode ray tube. Scope display shown on diagram by man w/ pointer.
10:36:44 Electronic racks of system analysis equipment for receiving, storing and analyzing. Electronic correlator, zero crossing analyzer & digital pulse analyzer, and coding unit shown.
