DRTE and CARDE are carrying out a programme of microwave measurements on hypersonic ballistic ranges, located at CARDE for the purpose of studying the ionized field in the vicinity of a high velocity projectile. Two simple types of measurement are being carried out. In one a simple CW Doppler radar observes the projectile at a nose-on aspect for most of its flight. In the other a beam, at right angles to the projectile, is used to obtain resolution along the flight path. Present equipment will be described and some results will be given. |
