The report presents data collected to define the capabilities and limitations of the Radar Approach Control Facility located at Sheppard AFB, Tx. The facility is comprised of an AN/FPN-47 radar set, AN/FPN-16 radar set, AN/TPX-42 Air Traffic Control Radar Beacon System (ATCRBS), and associated power systems. Included in the report are descriptions of the lower, upper, inner and outer fringes of the useable radar coverage; Line-of-Sight Diagrams; ATCRBS coverage and tracking capabilities analysis of flight and performance data; and performance predictions for these systems. The ATCRBS data analysis emphasizes the severe false target problem noted at this location. The data presented in this report can be used as a guide for anticipated performance until there is an addition, deletion or relocation of equipment which would change the facility's capability or until a change occurs in the screening profile.
