Abstract

This paper, having first reviewed briefly the operational characteristics of present radar displays, deals with a new technique for presenting the radar data whereby a large, bright, high-contrast radar picture can be produced on a flat plotting surface by projecting in sequence rapidly processed photographs of a PPI cathode-ray tube presentation. It is followed by an account, by the radar officer in S.S. Canberra, Mr. D. W. Sims, of the use of the system at sea.
