A Design and Operational Philosophy for an Ultra-Precision Tracking Mount System for a Missile Test Range

Test-range requirements for a ground-based instrument station which will combine optical, photographic, television, photoelectric and electronic event-observation and recording devices carried on a servo-driven tracking mount of theodolite accuracy are discussed. The system will obtain missile-performance data and produce records in forms suitable for use in automated data-processing systems. The tracking-mount configuration and design considerations are described in detail.
