These efforts required the development of very large one-of-a-kind radars and extremely large steerable parabolic antennas—up to 150 ft in diameter—these radars were installed in Alaska and Europe and provided the basis for the installation of the BMEWS ballistic mis- sile early warning radar system. In addition, the results of these experiments were used to develop radar scattering models for the Aurora and moon echoes and the scientific results were published as a number of scientific journal papers. ‘Played a key leadership role for both the US government and SRI International in developing the first radar instrumentation used in the US to study the effects on the ionosphere of ballistic missiles during launches and reentries. These pioneering experimental investigations led to the development of the field of reentry physics and deployment of Over the Horizon Radar systems. Helped to plan and carry out the US measurement programs to understand the effects of nuclear weap- ons on the atmosphere and ionosphere. Led the SRI quick reaction effort to design and develop and use the special radar instrumentation which was used as the primary diagnostic tools during all the US high altitude nuclear weapons tests—Hardtrack in 1957, Argus in 1958, and Fishbowl in 1962. From these measurement programs and the subsequent analysis and theoretical efforts the SRI team devel- oped the basis for most of the models used today to forecast the effects of nuclear weapons on the iono- sphere and the related system effects.
