This AGARDograph describes flight test techniques, flight test instrumentation, ground simulation, data reduction and analysis methods used to determine the performance characteristics of a modern air-to-air (a/a) radar system. Included is a general coverage of specification requirements, test plans, support requirements, development and operational testing, and management information systems. Detailed flight test techniques cover a/a radar capabilities of: detection, manual acquisition, automatic acquisition, tracking a single target, and detection and tracking of multiple targets. For each mode, there is an explanation of what to evaluate plus conditions and factors and built-in-test, electromagnetic compatibility, electronic counter-countermeasures, displays and controls, degraded and backup modes, mode mechanization alternatives, radome effects, radar processing, environmental considerations, interfaces, configuration management, operator knowledge, and use of testbeds. The section on ground simulation and test covers lab uses, limitations, requirements, test methods, instrumentation and data, data processing and data analysis. The flight test instrumentation and data section includes the use of video tape, internal radar data, avionics interfaces, telemetry, on-board special controls and reference data. The section on data reduction and analysis addresses video, first and second generation, data merging and analysis techniques. Additional sections cover reporting and a discussion of considerations for the future and how they may impact radar flight testing.
