Table E-5 lists the pattern and 

 altitude each aircraft flew for each 

 day of the experiment. 



SLAR Data Format 



The output analog imagery from 

 both the APS-131 and APS-135 

 SLAR was recorded on 23 cm 

 wide dry-process film. The HU- 

 25B also used a video recorder to 

 record the analog imagery on VHS 

 tape format. 



Two logs were maintained on the 

 aircraft to aid the data analysis. 

 The SLAR Search Run Summary 

 Sheets recorded the start and stop 

 time of each leg; aircraft speed, 

 altitude, and heading; and SLAR 

 settings. The second was a SLAR 

 Target Log to record latitude, 

 longitude, and time of each SLAR 

 target observed by the SLAR 

 operator, as well as the SLAR 

 operator's interpretation of the 

 SLAR target (ship or iceberg, and 

 iceberg size). The SLAR operator 

 also circled the target on the 

 SLAR film, and annotated the film 

 with the target number from the 

 SLAR Target Log.
