Abstract

The Short Range Missile Launch Locator, AN/TNS-5, is a system which determines the asimuth of acoustic signals arriving at a microphone array. By triangulation from the azimuth indications from a number of stations, a fix on a mortar, artillery, or missile site is obtained. This describes the design of the azimuth ranging equipment.
