Discussed the Sperry/Raytheon setup with AAG, wherein I mentioned the analogy with the det. electrical sizes of missiles and manned a/c, drawing on some of the ADC Radar Evaluation Program background. I emphasized the desirability of an experimental program that would permit correlation of δ as computed from the operational situation and that from the model range.
Rec’d a copy of 22L-7265 (13 August 62) by L. A. Globus & Eric Korngold on “Atmospheric Refraction & its Effect on Radar Measurements.” It has 2 figures, showing variation of index of refraction with altitude, taken from the ADC Radar Evaluation Program. I brought this to AAG’s attention.
