Resumen

The evaluation of Lorac Radiolocation System was authorized by the Bureau of Ships and was conducted during the period 10–14 June 1957 off Cameron, Louisiana, by staff members of the Taylor Model Basin and Lorac Service Corporation. Measurements of the speed and turning characteristics of a test vessel were made independently with Lorac and with the Navy tactical shore station equipment. This report contains a comparison of the test results with comments on utilization of Lorac in conducting trials on naval vessels.
