RADAR: A detailed technical training film (circa-1960’s) explaining “Secondary Surveillance Radar” which is used to identify aircraft positions from surface to air. Nice quality film with clear explanations of air traffic control's use of radar and transponders. Part One (5 mins) and Part Two (14 mins) both included. In December 1957, the International Civil Aviation Organization, ("ICAO") adopted “Secondary Surveillance Radar” (SSR) for use by Common Civilian and Military Air Traffic Control. The ICAO creates regulations for aviation safety and security, and regulates practices, procedures and standards in the field of aviation. Film shows how SSR works, explains the use and functions of transponders and radar tracking. - Adapted from a rare ICAO training film circa.
Background: Computers began to be utilized in air traffic control starting in 1956 (UNIVAC File Computer and UNIVAC 1218)) and later with the massive IBM 9020 systems. This film predates the IBM 9020 system, but provides great over of how the Secondary Radar systems work.
In 1960, the FAA required the use of Transponders for use with RADAR in identifying aircraft.
