Radar and radiometric correlators for munition terminal guidance and flight position fixing require an operationally useful reference map base. A procedure previously developed to convert optical aerial photography into a high resoluiton radar syntheitc map was investigated to determine if it could be extended to synthesis of real-beam radar imagery. Synthetic radar images were generated corresponding to radar scope photographs of Montgomery, Alabama, Richmond, Kentucky; and Laurel, Mississippi. However, based on a visual comparison of the synthetic radar images to the actual radar scope photographs, the results were poor, and it is recommended that the concept not be further pursued.
