Abstract
The AN/APG-66 is a digital, multimode, fire control radar that is the primary sensor for the F-16 air combat fighter. The detection and false alarm performance of this radar are described when it operates in its medium PRF pulse Doppler downlook mode. Descriptions are included of medium PRF clutter, the AN/APG-66 signal processing, the flight tests used to obtain performance data, a computer simulation of the radar, and the calibration of the simulation. The detection performance presented is based on both flight tests and the output of the flight test calibrated simulation. The false alarm performance is based on flight tests and is accompanied by a discussion of the sources of false alarms.
