AN EVALUATION OF AN ELECTRONIC LOCATION MARKER (SARAH) FOR ARCTIC USE
A STUDY WAS UNDERTAKEN TO EVALUATE AND MODIFY THE SARAH (Search and Rescue and Homing) system for use in arctic areas. The search equipment of this system was mounted on H-21 helicopters, T-33 jet trainers, and B-57 jet bombers, and special antenna systems were designed and tested for these aircraft...
