The two main research objectives of the contract were to demonstrate high power nuclear lasering (similar to kWatt) and demonstrate nuclear pumping with fission fragments from (U-235)F6. The progress made towards these objectives is discussed.
The possibility of imaging the sea surface in three dimensions by means of microwave holography from a low-flying aircraft is considered. Data cover a brief feasibility study and a review of some computer experiments in which it was demonstrated that it is possible to compute three-dimensional images of objects from raw holographic data recorded on magnetic tape. These experiments used synthetic data.
