This traffic control and landing systems (TRACALS) radar station evaluation report presents data collected to define the capabilities and limitations to the radar approach control (RAPCON) facility at Grissom AFB, Indiana. The data presented in this report were collected during the evaluation period 20-27 April 1977. The RAPCOM facility is comprised of an AN/FPN-47 airport surveillance radar (ASR), AN/TPX-42(V) Type III Air traffic control radar beacon system (ATCRBS), and associated power systems. This report includes descriptions of the useable radar coverage, radar coverage diagrams, the ATCRBS coverage and tracking capabilities, the analysis of flight and equipment performance data, and the performance predictions for the ASR and ATCRBS systems. The data presented in this report are a guide for anticipated equipment performance until there is an addition, deletion or relocation of equipment or until a change occurs in the horizontal profile.
