Multiple issues, especially related to factual details[edit]

This topic is in need of attention from an expert on the subject.

The section or sections that need attention may be noted in a message below.

I'm adding this section as a place to link to from the expert needed tag I added (among multiple maintenance tags). I'm hoping to address some of the red links and inline cleanup tags, but I'm out of my depth; so far, I've only made some progress with the former.

For example, I had trouble parsing the following:

the 1963 Holloman AFB program for Athena/ABRES installed "two 3 megawatt dual frequency L-band and UHF radar systems" by Continental Electronics^[26] (AFMDC's RAM Site at Rhodes Canyon and the "Stallion radar site located uprange" on WSMR were "used to obtain the crossrange aspect of re-entry data.")^[27]

And when I read the source for the second citation, "Forty Years of Research and Development at Griffis Air Force Base: June 1951 – June 1991," I found the following on page 66 (emphasis mine):

Located at the White Sands Missile Range, Holloman AFB, New Mexico, RATSCAT was a radar reflectivity measurement range used to measure radar cross-sections of objects. Radar was tested at an experimental interval between the RATSCAT and a Stallion radar site located uprange, which was used to obtain the crossrange aspect of re-entry data.

Perhaps to a subject matter expert, the relationship between "AFMDC's RAM Site at Rhodes Canyon" and "RATSCAT" in the source documentation is obvious, but I couldn't understand it from either that citation or the preceding, which links to material locked behind a paywall. – spida-tarbell ❀ (talk) (contribs) 02:09, 29 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
