To evaluate an airborne illumination system for night reconnaissance, two investigations were conducted, one in flight and one in the laboratory, both using scaled simulation. The in-flight investigation suggested the desirability of: (1) using an observation aircraft flying below the 'light ship'; and (2) increasing the limits of permissable lateral coverage of the lights. Both hypotheses were confirmed by a scale-model laboratory experiment. (Author)
