A flight test program has been completed in which the Helicopter Remote Wind Sensor was mounted on a UH-1 testbed aircraft. Wind measurements were made and recorded under a variety of flight hover conditions. Data from the flight test program are presented as wind profiles as a function of range, and data reduction and analysis approaches are discussed. The point-pair method was applied for comparison to theoretical and wind tunnel results. The data are applied to a baseline ballistics study sufficient to estimate the quantity of data needed for free-flight aerial armaments. (Author)
