Summary: A training film which describes and illustrates 'types and uses of Radar Synthetic Trainers designed at TRE'.
Description: - 'This film shows types and uses of Radar Synthetic Trainers designed at TRE'
- 'Synthetic trainers fall into two main classes:- 1. Simple bench trainers (for demonstration of the radar picture). 2. More complex crew trainers (for operational training of crews)'
- 'Trainers for ground radar equipment'
- 'Crew trainers for operatars [sic] on C.H. [Chain Home] stations (fixed power early warning installations).
- 'During the war years these trainers were used for a total of 750,000 hours and trained 12,000 RAF men and WAAF operators in radar plotting'
- 'Typical C.H. picture produced by the H trainer'
- 'Crew trainer for operators on C.H.L. stations (rotating beam early warning equipment with low cover)'
- 'Crew trainer equipment for G.C.I controllers'
- 'A synthetic G.C.I. picture'
- 'The trainer is also used to provide practice on operational stations. The equipment replacing two aircraft'
- 'Portable equipment for training CGI operators in height finding'
- 'Mobile crew trainer for over-seas ground radar equipment'
- 'This trainer provides an RF synthetic echo for plotting practice and for lining up over-seas ground stations'
- 'Bench trainer for synthetic jamming'
- 'Radar operators are often called upon to read through enemy jamming. this unit provides practice ten different types of interference and may be used with all types of radar equipment'
- 'Trainers for airborne radar equipment'
- 'Trainer for A.1 Mark IV'
- 'Typical synthetic picture of AA Mark IV'
- ' Crew trainer for A.1 Mark V (spot indicator)'
- 'Trainer for A.1 Mark VI (A.1 in single seater fighters)'
- 'Bench demonstration of A.1 Marks VII and VIII scanning system'
- 'Crew trainer for A.1 Mark VIII'
- 'A.1 Mark VIII picture produced by this trainer'
- 'Mobile crew trainer for A.1 Mark VIII'
- 'This is a self contained mobile trainer used for the conversion of squadrons using obsolescent types of A.1 to A.1 Mark VIII, both at home and over-seas'
- 'A.1 visual trainer, (for simulation of visual conditions experienced in A.1 night fighting)'
- 'In this trainer it is required to co-ordinate during a synthetic air to air interception, a projected picture . . . .'
- 'A record on a map . . .'
- ' . . . and CRT displays'
- 'The system responds to the flying controls of the friendly aircraft . . . '
- ' . . . and the enemy aircraft . . . '
- 'Split field servo motors are used for remote control'
- 'Enemy dives'
- 'Enemy climbs'
- 'Enemy turns right'
- 'Friend turns left'
Followed by examples of difficulties expected during operations and how to overcome them
