Abstract
The Applied Physics Laboratory has built and fielded an experimental b istatic X-band continuous-wave radar system for studies in aircraft wa ke vortex detection. The radar, along with an acoustic pumping system, was installed at the Baltimore-Washington International Airport in th e fall of 1996. Controlled experiments using a NASA C-130 aircraft wer e conducted on 23 September, 29 October, and 10 December. Results from two specific runs on 29 October are presented and discussed along wit h numerical simulations of those runs.
