This traffic control and landing systems (TRACALS) radar station evaluation report presents data collected to define the capabilities and limitations of the mobile radar approach control (MRAPCON) facility at Kincheloe AFB, Mi. The data presented in this report were collected during two evaluation periods, 22 October thru 16 November 1975 and 8 thru 16 December 1975. The Kincheloe facility is comprised of an AN/MPN-14H which consists of an air surveillance radar (ASR), precision approach radar (PAR), and associated power systems. The AN/TPX-42(A)V type II air traffic control radar beacon system (ATCRBS) modification is also incorporated into the MRAPCON system. This report included descriptions of the useable radar coverage, the radar coverage diagrams, the ATCRBS coverage and tracking capabilities, the analysis of flight and equipment performance data, and the performance predictions for the MRAPCON facility. The data presented in this report are a guide for anticipated equipment performance until there is an addition, deletion, or relocation of equipment, or until a change occurs in the horizontal profile.
