Development of Computer Controlled Radar Programs

In 1964 some work was started on the development of an automatic radar. The basic objectives of this radar are to survey through 360 in azimuth and from 0 to 60° in elevation. Tracks are automatically initiated on targets in this region and the radar should maintain contact with these targets until...
