This traffic control and landing systems (TRACALS) radar station evaluation report presents data collected from 16-25 January 1978 to define the capabilities and limitations of the ground controlled approach (GCA) facility at Williams AFB, AZ. The GCA is composed of an AN/GPN-12 airport surveillance radar (ASR), AN/TPX-42A (V) Type III air traffic control radar beacon system (ATCRBS), AN/FPN-61 precision approach radar (PAR), and the associated power systems. This report includes descriptions of the useable ASR coverage and tracking capabilities, the useable ATCRBS coverage and tracking capabilities, the analysis of flight and equipment performance data, and the performance predictions for the ASR and ATCRBS systems. The data presented can be used as a guide for anticipated equipment performance until there is an addition, or relocation of equipment or until a change occurs in the horizontal profile. (Author)
