Summary: A presentation on the trial of Red Steer Mark 2 radar equipment manufactured by EKCO (E.K.Cole), being assessed for use detecting air to air rockets.
Description: A presentation with commentary, Cathode Ray Tube (CRT) footage and diagrams which records the results when trialing the system in the summer of 1966. Explanations concentrate on the changes to results seen on the CRT, events that affect the results, radar scan types employed and what the results illustrated.
The trial was conducted in three phases: 1. Verifying the system worked in normal conditions by using an English Electric Canberra jet bomber as a target. 2. Using a Folland Gnat jet trainer to simulate a rocket launch. 3. Detection of a genuine rocket launched from a Hawker Hunter jet fighter.
