Abstract :
A real-time data transmission system was designed for and installed at the Atlantic Missile Range. This system is used to transmit the digital range, azimuth, and elevation coordinates from remotely located AN/FPS-16 radars into the Range Safety IBM 704 Computer at Cape Canaveral, Fla. The radar data is transmitted at a 10PPS rate and is used in the computation of a predicted impact point ten times a second within the computer. The predicted impact point is displayed on vertical plotting boards or use by the Range Safety Officer.
