This traffic control and landing systems (TRACALS) radar station evaluation report presents data collected to define the capabilities and limitations of the radar control facility at Eglin AFB, Florida. The radar control facility is comprised of an AN/GPN-12 airport surveillance radar (ASR), AN/TPX-42(A)V Type 3 air traffic control radar beacon system (ATCRBS), An/FPN-16 precision approach radar (PAR), and associated power and communications systems. The data presented in this report were collected during the evaluation period 23 June through 4 July 1976. Systems evaluated during this period were the AN/GPN-12 AN/TPX-42, and AN/FPN-16. Included in this report are descriptions of the usable ASR coverage, radar coverage diagrams, the ATCRBS coverage and tracking capabilities, the analysis of flight and equipment performance data, the performance predictions of the ASR and ATCRBS systems, and PAR siting information. 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.
