Abstract
This thesis deals with the evaluation of the performance
of a strapped down air-to-air tracker for the Short Range
Weapons Control System. The system was designed, built,
and evaluated at the Naval Weapons Center. The subsystems
of the tracker which contributed to the problem areas discovered
by flight tests are described. An evaluation of
the shortcomings of the tracking scan mode and the automatic
gain control circuit is discussed and circuit modifications
are proposed which include a collapsing square scan for
target tracking and a variable width window discriminator.
