The project involved the collection and processing of aircraft positional data of air traffic over the North Atlantic Ocean for the purpose of assessing the navigational accuracy of this traffic. The concept, specifications, and broad systems design of the Automatic Beacon/Loran Digitizer System (Processor) were developed at the National Aviation Facilities Experimental Center (NAFEC), Atlantic City, New Jersey. The Processor was part of a data collection system that also included ancillary antenna and radar beacon systems and Loran navigation systems. Acceptance testing of the Processor was accomplished at the factory, at NAFEC, and in field locations. Data collection system installations were made at Gander, Newfoundland, Kilkee, Ireland, and on three United States Coast Guard cutters stationed at various locations in the North Atlantic Ocean. The radar data collection program, conducted over a period of 6-1/2 months, was managed from NAFEC. All resulting data were processed at NAFEC and forwarded to the Royal Aircraft Establishment (RAE) at Farnborough, England, for analysis. It was concluded that the technical and operational approaches to the data collection and processing requirements were generally sound. It was recommended that the Processor be made available for use in other data collection programs. (Author)
