Iceland trip offered Chance to test new of radar Washington a although he did l know it president Reagan helped the air Force test a critical new radar system earlier this month when he new 10 Iceland for his Summit with soviet Leader Mikhail Gorbachev. The president s air Force one flight on oct 9 was used for a target track by engineers completing work on the first stage of the new  backs Catler radar system said maj. Ron Rand an air Force spokesman that initial unit has been constructed in Maine and was Able 10 track the presi Dent s plane from a Point roughly 600 Miles off the North american coastline until in touched Down m Iceland Rand  marked the first time that an operational oth a sector had tracked a tar get All the Way out to its full Range of coverage the spokesman added. The oth a system has an operational Range of Over 2,000 Miles. Rand said the radar unit is still being tested Only a few hours each Day. He said the president s flight to ice land just happened to occur during such a test period. The president did t know about it the spokesman said. The air Force As part of the administration s military build up has been authorized to build four Over the horizon systems that will ring the . Coastline with a new radar Barrier. The system in Maine is expected to become fully operational in a year or so and will be followed by similar units on the Pacific Northwest coast in Alaska and in the Middle of the country Point ing southward beyond the Gulf coast. The project is considered a key feature of the administration s strategic modernization program and an improved com Mand and Contro network because the new radars offer the capability of detect ing Al great Range Low flying planes or cruise missiles heading toward the United slates unlike conventional radar systems which interrogate the skies by trans milling and receiving radio frequency signals More or less in a straight line Anothy system transmits radio signals skyward toward the Earth s ionosphere. By transmitting in the High frequency band instead of using the Normal Micro wave frequencies the oth a s signals Bounce off the ionosphere Back to the Earth s surface at a considerable distance from the transmitter. As is the Case with conventional radar if the signal strike an object a return Echo bounces Back. But with an oth system the return or backs Catler signals Bounce up Ward to the ionosphere once again and then Back to a Large Antenna on land. By using sophisticated computers and knowledge about atmospheric conditions the oth a can be tuned to scan an area ranging from about 600 Miles to 2,000 Miles beyond the transmitter. That compares to a Range of less than 100 Miles for u Normal radar. The initial unit used to track the presi Dent s plane was built for the air Force by to Ltd general electric co. The operations Center has been constructed in Bangor Maine with the transmit antennas in Moscow Maine and the receive antennas in Columbia Falls Maine
