A study was conducted to determine whether or not the presence or absence of a radar sweepline influences attentional processes and, hence, the speed with which critical stimuli can be detected. The visual display was designed to approximate an advanced, highly automated air traffic control radar display containing computer-generated alphanumeric symbols. Twenty-eight men and women, paid volunteers with no previous air traffic controller experience, were tested over a 2-hour session with half of the subjects assigned to the sweep condition and half to the no-sweep condition. Sixteen targets appeared on the screen at all times, with 10 signals (a designed change in the alphanumerics) randomly presented during each 1/2-hour of the test session. Mean detection latencies, long detection times, and missed signals all increased significantly over the task session. Although the no-sweep appeared to be generally superior to the sweep condition in all measures of detection efficiency, none of the differences was significant. Concomitantly recorded measures of saccadic eye movements revealed a pattern of change in mean fixation duration which paralleled the patterns of change in performance during the task session. However, as with performance, mean fixation durations for the sweep and no-sweep conditions did not differ, nor were individual differences in scanning activity related to performance. Possible reasons for the lack of relationship between scanning activity and performance are discussed. (Author).

During the 1950s, the United States and the Soviet Union teetered on the brink of nuclear devastation. America's hope for national security relied solely upon aerial reconnaissance. Radar Man is the fascinating memoir of a physicist who, with his colleagues, developed the stealth technology that eventually created radar-invisible aircraft. Edward Lovick shares a compelling story from the perspective of an enthusiastic scientist that highlights his pioneering experiences in an innovative, secret world as he helped create stealth aircraft such as the A-12 OXCART, SR-71 Blackbird, and F-117 Nighthawk. From the moment in 1957 when Lockheed's famous aircraft designer Clarence L. 'Kelly' Johnson invited Lovick to join his "Skunk Works," Lovick details how he helped the CIA eventually perform vital, covert reconnaissance flights over Soviet-held territory during the Cold War, saved Lockheed ADP's A-12 from cancellation, and provided key design input to the SR-71 and F-117. Lovick's autobiography describing his career as an engineering physicist in the Skunk Works not only draws attention to the insurmountable challenges that accompanied the task of developing radar-invisible aircraft, but also the importance of the monumental task these young scientists fulfilled-all with the hope of creating a secure future for their beloved country.

This book, Principles of Modern Radar, has as its genesis a Georgia Tech short course of the same title. This short course has been presented an nually at Georgia Tech since 1969, and a very comprehensive set of course notes has evolved during that seventeen year period. The 1986 edition of these notes ran to 22 chapters, and all of the authors involved, except Mr. Barrett, were full time members of the Georgia Tech research faculty. After considerable encouragement from various persons at the university and within the radar community, we undertook the task of editing the course notes for formal publication. The contents of the book that ensued tend to be practical in nature, since each contributing author is a practicing engineer or scientist and each was selected to write on a topic embraced by his area(s) of expertise. Prime examples are Chaps. 2, 5, and 10, which were authored by E. F. Knott, G. W. Ewell, and N. C. Currie, respectively. Each of these three researchers is rec ognized in the radar community as an expert in the technical area that his chap ter addresses, and each had already authored and published a major book on his subject. Several other contributing authors, including Dr. Bodnar, Mr. Bruder, Mr. Corriher, Dr. Reedy, Dr. Trebits, and Mr. Scheer, also have major book publications to their credit.

This text covers the basics of radar operations and theory, provides a background into the many radar-related areas and covers the electronic warfare issues from a radar perspective. Introduction of important radar principles is combined with an explanation of the major types of radar wherever possible so that the reader becomes familiar with the principles and radar types simultaneously. We do not attempt to study specific radar systems in any depth although some example systems are illustrated to reinforce theory and concepts. We also avoid some of the more complex radar topics. The text is designed for non-technical people who require an understanding of the most important radar principles, or people with a technical background looking for a broad introduction to radar systems. Accordingly, we avoid much of the mathematical complexity inherent in the subject. Some mathematics is unavoidable and is used to explain important principles. Those with a more technical bent can delve further into the subject by referring to the endnotes listed at the end of each chapter. Specifically, this text has been developed to provide basic radar system knowledge to radar operators or those employed within radar environments. The text also supports other persons in radar-related endeavours such as the acquisition or maintenance of radar systems. In Chapter 1, a basic radar block diagram is introduced to familiarise readers with the major components of a radar system. In Chapter 2, the reader is introduced to basic pulse radar as a means of explaining some fundamental radar concepts. The concepts behind radar antennas are then discussed in Chapter 3. Chapter 4 describes a subset of the many radar displays in existence with operation radar systems. The ubiquitous radar range equation is discussed in Chapter 5 as fundamental guide to radar performance and the many tradeoffs that exist in radar design. Chapter 6 describes the Doppler effect, which is a well-known acoustic effect widely used in continuous wave radar. Pulse Doppler radar and, in particular, moving target indication radar, is described in Chapter 7 as the final example of radars that make use of the Doppler effect. Chapter 8 investigates tracking and high-resolution radar. Chapter 9 investigates techniques that provide superior range and angular resolution. Chapter 10) covers secondary surveillance radar. The radar's operating environment is described in the fourth part of the text in Chapter 11. Chapter 12 covers the electronic warfare aspects of radar operation and breaks electronic warfare into the traditional three components; electronic support, electronic attack and electronic protection. At the end of each chapter is a list of reference material that explores each topic in more detail. A set of review questions is also provided at the end of each chapter with the answers to quantitative questions provided in brackets. Three appendices are provided to support the text. Appendix A lists and expands relevant acronyms. Appendix B provides a list of common prefixes and the Greek alphabet and Appendix C explains the decibel.

World War II defined its heroes and villains. There are many books on national leaders like Churchill and Hitler, generals like Montgomery and Rommel. Less has been written about the civilian scientists, engineers, and technicians whose work produced military innovations that drove the direction and outcome of that terrible conflict. This book is a connected and interlaced narrative of two men who were World War II civilian scientists. It is a non-technical portrait of two twentieth-century life stories against a backdrop of war and peace, which are important in both historical context and as illustrations of the human condition lived in extraordinary circumstances. The lives of A. P. Rowe and John Strath intersected in the British development of radar in the 1930s and 1940s and then diverged into critical roles in Britain and Australia after the war. Rowe and Strath worked in Britains epic development of radar defences, without which the 1940 aerial Battle of Britain would have been lost. Rowe led what has been termed as one of the most successful research establishments of all time, focussed on the development and deployment of radar; Strath was a junior member of that establishment. After the war, both men moved to Australia where Rowe, after a short and unhappy involvement as lead scientific adviser on the development of Australia's Woomera rocket range and Australian defence, was for a decade a highly contentious vice chancellor of the University of Adelaide. Strath became involved in development of the British atomic weapon and monitoring of nuclear test effects in Australia and then became the prime mover for development of what is now Australias Jindalee Operational Radar Network, a major component of the countrys long-range defence surveillance.
