NOSC was consolidated, I think, into Space and Naval Warfare Systems Center, San Diego. I don't know what it's called now, was NOSC, then NRAD, and could be consolidated with SPAWAR/Lockheed these days. ...and yes it was for doing analyses of maritime antennas and their mutual effects with the ship's superstructure. I visited and was given a tour of that site some years ago, when it was NRaD. They were also doing computer modeling with NEC-4 of the same ships and structures they were measuring. One of the engineers told me that when the results from the computer model disagreed with measurements from the physical model, they'd learned to believe the computer model. This was a statement of just how difficult it is to make really good measurements, even when you have the best equipment. Accurate computer modeling of complex structures is no trivial task, either, but it was something they were very good at. Roy Lewallen, W7EL |
