The Simulation of Radar Presentations for Briefing Purposes

Joseph Westheimer

The problem of briefing American fliers on bombing missions over Japan was acute from the standpoint of accuracy and time. Motion pictures were prepared in advance of missions, showing course, target area, visible landmarks, and return course. As part of this project, motion pictures of a radar scope were simulated. Not only was an accurate replica of a scope portrayed, but these films were rapidly produced. The process is described in the following paper.
