A classified United States Army line scanner (Texas Instruments Model AAS-24) mounted in a Mohawk aircraft was tested for its air-sea search and rescue potential. Within the environmental parameters indicated the instrument proved effective in identifying both small boats and individual swimmers. Positive identification was made during daylight and night sorties when the location of swimmers was known and in daylight trials when their location was unknown.
