Target Manipulation Systems (String Reel)

String Reel Target Manipulation Systems are

used to support targets for low frequency

Radar Cross Section (RCS) measurements.

Three sizes of string reel positioners are used

to handle various loads from scaled models to

full size targets.

Another use is for manipulation of a calibration

target in anechoic chambers.

A typical application requires 3 - 16 string reel

positioners for the various loads.

Target Manipulation Systems Safety The Spool is grooved to ensure proper winding of the string. The string is also protected by a close fit cover and string guide to ensure proper winding and unwinding of the string at "No Load" condition. • The unit is based on ORBIT/FR polarization positioner with addition of spool mechanism. Thus, most features of the polarization positioner can also be implemented in the string reel unit.
