| Abstract | Eight airport sites and the FAA Oklahoma Depot were visited and surveys conducted to obtain reliability, maintainability and performance data on the ASDE-2 Radar System. The data was analyzed and recommendations for modification to the equipment made based on cost/benefit trade-offs. Three electronic modifications were recommended: modulator, local oscillator, and solid state duplexer modifications. (These modifications have since been accomplished.) To increase the operational utility of the ASDE-2 Radar, a bright display is recommended and, where space permits in the control tower, multiple displays. The report contains detailed information on ASDE-2 reliability/maintainability, operational status, performance, and future ASDE system considerations as of March 1973. The report is in two Volumes: Vol. I: Operational Data and Modification Recommendations and Vol. II: Modulator, Receiver and Indicator Interface Recommendations. |
