Ballistic Missiles have been developed or are in the offing which are capable of long ranges and extremely high velocities. In order for these missiles to perform their purpose most effectively, accurate range and velocity instrumentation equipment is needed. A system has been developed to accurately position ballistic missiles by Cubic Corporation of San Diego, California. Improvements on the present system are desired, particularly in the field of minimum detectable signal level and recovery of velocity data. A system is described herein which will, realize an improvement over the present system. The proposed system is compared with the present system and appears very favorable theoretically. Production-wise, the proposed system is feasible.
