Navigational and reconnaissance pulseecho radar system

Claim 2

A DATA DISPLAY SYSTEM ADAPTED TO DISPLAY A HIGH RESOLUTION PICTURE AT A RELATIVELY RAPID FRAME RATE USING DATA BURSTS CONTINUALLY RECEIVED AT A RELATIVELY LOWER RATE COMPRISING: A CONTINUAL SIGNAL BURST PRODUCING DEVICE, A HIGH RESOLUTION STORAGE SURFACE CAPABLE OF RECEIVING AND RECORDING A PLURALITY OF POINT BY POINT LINES OF DATA AS RECEIVED FROM THE SIGNAL PRODUCING DEVICE, SCANNING MEANS ASSOCIATED WITH SAID SIGNAL PRODUCING DEVICE FOR WRITING SAID SIGNAL BURSTS UPON SAID STORAGE SURFACE IN A FIRST PRESELECTED PATTERN AT A FIRST PRESELECTED RATE, MEANS FOR SENSING POINT BY POINT A PLURALITY OF ANY LINES OF DATA THAT MAY BE STORED ON THE SURFACE TO SENSE SAID LINES IN A SECOND PRESELECTED PATTERN AT A SECOND PRESELECTED RATE, A HIGH RESOLUTION DISPLAY DEVICE OPERABLY CONNECTED TO THE SENSING MEANS FOR DISPLAYING THE PLURALITY OF LINES OF DATA SENSED, AND AN ELECTRIC CIRCUIT CONNECTION BETWEEN THE CONTINUAL SIGNAL PRODUCING DEVICE AND THE SENSING DEVICE FOR SYNCHRONIZING SAID FIRST PRESELECTED PATTERN WITH SAID SECOND PRESELECTED PATTERN TO SENSE THE MOST RECENTLY RECORDED LINES OF DATA.

Claim 3

A RADAR SYSTEM MOUNTED ON A MOVING CRAFT FOR PROVIDING A HIGH RESOLUTION DISPLAY OF THE MOST RECENT DATA RECEIVED FROM A HIGH DIFINATION RADAR ANTENNA NON-RO TATABLY SECURED TO THE CRAFT WITH THE DISPLAY PROVIDING A PICTURE OF SUFFICIENT DIMENSIONS TO ENHANCE INTERPRETATION THEREOF COMPRISING: AN ELECTRON RECORDING TUBE HAVING A HIGH ELECTRON VELOCITY ELECTRON GUN FOR PROVIDING A WRITING BEAM, A HIGH RESOLUTION STORAGE SURFACE, ELECTRIC CIRCUIT MEANS FOR MODULATING THE CURRENT FLOW OF AN ELECTRON WRITING BEAM IN ACCORDANCE WITH DATA RECEIVED AT THE ANTENNA, MEANS FOR DEFLECTING THE WRITING BEAM TO PLACE A PLURALITY OF POINT BY POINT DATA LINES ON THE STORAGE SURFACE AT A RATE PROPORTIONAL TO THE RECEIPT OF INFORMATION FROM THE ANTENNA; A HIGH RESOLUTION ELECTRONIC DISPLAY TUBE; A LOW ELECTRON VELOCITY ELECTRON GUN FOR PORVIDING A READING ELECTRON BEAM WHICH WILL RAPIDLY SCAN, POINT BY POINT, A PLURALITY OF ANY LINES OF DATA RECORDED ON THE STORAGE SURFACE WITHOUT SUBSTANTIALLY VARYING THE DATE RECORDED ON THE SURFACE, THEREBY PRODUCING A DATA CONTAINING SIGNAL AT A FRAME RATE SUBSTANTIALLY GREATER THAN THE RATE OF RECEIPT OF DATA, SAID RATE DEPENDING ON THE RETENTION CHARACTERISTICS OF THE DISPLAY TUBE; ELECTRIC CIRCUIT MEANS FOR CONDUCTING THE DATA CONTAINING SIGNAL FROM THE REGION OF THE READING BEAM TO A GRID OF THE DISPLAY TUBE WHEREBY A PLURALITY OF LINES OF DATA MAY BE DISPLAYED; AND OTHER ELECTRICAL CIRCUIT MEANS FOR SYNCHRONIZING THE READING BEAM WITH THE WRITING BEAM SO THAT THE MOST RECENTLY RECORDED DATA WILL BE DISPLAYED.

Claim 4

A RADAR SYSTEM MOUNTED ON A MOVING CRAFT FOR PROVIDING A HIGH RESOLUTION DISPLAY OF THE MOST RECENT DATA RECEIVED FROM A HIGH DIFINATION RADAR ANTENNA NON-RO TATABLY SECURED TO THE CRAFT WITH THE DISPLAY PROVIDING A PICTURE OF SUFFICIENT DIMENSIONS TO ENHANCE INTERPRETATION THEREOF COMPRISING: AN ELECTRON RECORDING TUBE HAVING A HIGH ELECTRON VELOCITY ELECTRON GUN FOR PROVIDING A WRITING BEAM, A HIGH RESOLUTION STORAGE SURFACE, ELECTRIC CIRCUIT MEANS FOR MODULATING THE CURRENT FLOW OF AN ELECTRON WRITING BEAM IN ACCORDANCE WITH DATA RECEIVED AT THE ANTENNA, MEANS FOR DEFLECTING THE WRITING BEAM TO PLACE A PLURALITY OF POINT BY POINT DATA LINES ON THE STORAGE SURFACE AT A RATE PROPORTIONAL TO THE RECEIPT OF INFORMATION FROM THE ANTENNA; A HIGH RESOLUTION ELECTRONIC DISPLAY TUBE; A LOW ELECTRON VELOCITY ELECTRON GUN FOR PORVIDING A READING ELECTRON BEAM WHICH WILL RAPIDLY SCAN, POINT BY POINT, A PLURALITY OF ANY LINES OF DATA RECORDED ON THE STORAGE SURFACE WITHOUT SUBSTANTIALLY VARYING THE DATE RECORDED ON THE SURFACE, THEREBY PRODUCING A DATA CONTAINING SIGNAL AT A FRAME RATE SUBSTANTIALLY GREATER THAN THE RATE OF RECEIPT OF DATA, SAID RATE DEPENDING ON THE RETENTION CHARACTERISTICS OF THE DISPLAY TUBE; ELECTRIC CIRCUIT MEANS FOR CONDUCTING THE DATA CONTAINING SIGNAL FROM THE REGION OF THE READING BEAM TO A GRID OF THE DISPLAY TUBE WHEREBY A PLURALITY OF LINES OF DATA MAY BE DISPLAYED; AND OTHER ELECTRICAL CIRCUIT MEANS FOR SYNCHRONIZING THE READING BEAM WITH THE WRITING BEAM SO THAT THE MOST RECENTLY RECORDED DATA WILL BE DISPLAYED.

Claim 5

A RADAR SYSTEM MOUNTED ON A MOVING CRAFT FOR PROVIDING A DISPLAY OF THE MOST RECENT DATA RECEIVED FROM A HIGH DEFINITION RADAR ANTENNA NON-ROTABLY SECURED TO THE CRAFT COMPRISING: A HIGH RESOLUTION ELECTRONIC DISPLAY TUBE; A RADAR RECEIVER ELECTRICALLY CONNECTED BETWEEN THE ANTENNA AND THE DISPLAY TUBE FOR PRODUCING A DATA CONTAINING SIGNAL; ELECTRIC CIRCUIT MEANS FOR CONDUCTING THE DATA CONTAINING SIGNAL TO GRID OF THE DISPLAY TUBE WHEREBY A PLURALITY OF LINES OF DATA MAY BE DISPLAYED WITH THE DATA DISPLAYED IN THE ORDER IN WHICH THE EARTH IS TRANSVERSED BY THE CRAFT; FIRST SIGNAL PRODUCING MEANS OF THE TYPE PROVIDING A YAW SIGNAL AS A FUNCTION OF THE YAW OF THE CRAFT FOR MODIFYING THE SWEEP CIRCUITS OF THE DISPLAY TUBE TO PRODUCE A RHOMBOIDAL DISPLAY THEREON WHEN THERE IS A SUBSTANTIAL YAW; RECTANGULAR COORDINATES ASSOCIATED WITH THE DISPLAY TUBE SURFACE WHICH CORRESPOND TO RECTANGULAR COORDINATES ON A COMPARABLE MAP OF THE AREA TRANVERSED WHEN THE YAW CORRECTED RHOMBOIDAL DISPLAY IS VIEWED; AND SECOND SIGNAL PRODUCING MEANS OF THE TYPE PROVIDING A PITCH SIGNAL IN ACCORDANCE WITH ANY PITCH OF CRAFT WHICH WILL AFFECT THE RELATIVE AREA SENSED FOR CONTROLLING THE DISPLAY RELATIVE TO AN INDICATION OF THE LOCATION OF THE CRAFT ON THE SURFACE OF THE DISPLAY TUBE.

Claim 6

A RADAR SYSTEM MOUNTED ON A MOVING CRAFT FOR PROVIDING A DISPLAY OF THE MOST RECENT DATA RECEIVED FROM A HIGH DEFINITION RADAR ANTENNA NON-ROTABLY SECURED TO THE CRAFT COMPRISING: A HIGH RESOLUTION ELECTRONIC DISPLAY TUBE; A RADAR RECEIVER ELECTRICALLY CONNECTED BETWEEN THE ANTENNA AND THE DISPLAY TUBE FOR PRODUCING A DATA CONTAINING SIGNAL; ELECTRIC CIRCUIT MEANS FOR CONDUCTING THE DATA CONTAINING SIGNAL TO GRID OF THE DISPLAY TUBE WHEREBY A PLURALITY OF LINES OF DATA MAY BE DISPLAYED WITH THE DATA DISPLAYED IN THE ORDER IN WHICH THE EARTH IS TRANSVERSED BY THE CRAFT; FIRST SIGNAL PRODUCING MEANS OF THE TYPE PROVIDING A YAW SIGNAL AS A FUNCTION OF THE YAW OF THE CRAFT FOR MODIFYING THE SWEEP CIRCUITS OF THE DISPLAY TUBE TO PRODUCE A RHOMBOIDAL DISPLAY THEREON WHEN THERE IS A SUBSTANTIAL YAW; RECTANGULAR COORDINATES ASSOCIATED WITH THE DISPLAY TUBE SURFACE WHICH CORRESPOND TO RECTANGULAR COORDINATES ON A COMPARABLE MAP OF THE AREA TRANVERSED WHEN THE YAW CORRECTED RHOMBOIDAL DISPLAY IS VIEWED; AND SECOND SIGNAL PRODUCING MEANS OF THE TYPE PROVIDING A PITCH SIGNAL IN ACCORDANCE WITH ANY PITCH OF CRAFT WHICH WILL AFFECT THE RELATIVE AREA SENSED FOR CONTROLLING THE DISPLAY RELATIVE TO AN INDICATION OF THE LOCATION OF THE CRAFT ON THE SURFACE OF THE DISPLAY TUBE.
