Computer-Program for FAA/ATCRBS Tape Reader, Program JASPER I.

摘要

This report presents an AFWL modified computer code, JASPER, which combines two computer codes originally developed by MIT Lincoln Laboratories. JASPER automatically identifies reflecting surfaces which cause false targets in the Air Traffic Control Radar Beacon System (ATCRBS), and determines their positions and orientation. The code is presently capable of processing data extracted from ARTS-3 terminal area processing systems. An explanation of the code is provided and a sample problem is included so that the user may become familiar with the input data and the flexibility of the output list. A later version of JASPER in close to ANSI FORTRAN has been written. This verison can be easily adapted to use on most computers. Data unpacking is done without the use of SHIFT or MASKING expressions. JASPER is written in FORTRAN version 3.4.4 (SCOPE) for the CDC 7600 computer. (Author)
