This traffic control and landing systems (TRACALS) radar station evaluation report presents data collected to define the capabilities and limitations of the radar approach control (RAPCON) facility at Dover AFB, Delaware. The data presented in this report were collected during the evaluation period 19 Feb-1 Mar 76. The RAPCON facility is comprised of an AN/FPN-47 airport surveillance radar (ASR), AN/TPX-42(A)V Type 3 air traffic control radar beacon system (ATCRBS), and associated power systems. This report includes descriptions of the useable radar coverage, the 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.
