Azimuth-Elevation-Range Indicator Subassembly

The Azimuth-Elevation-Range Indicator (AERI) subassembly is a component used in radar systems to display and track the position of a target in terms of azimuth (horizontal angle), elevation (vertical angle), and range (distance). It is typically used in military and aerospace applications.

The AERI subassembly consists of various components, including a display unit, control knobs, and electronic circuitry. The display unit provides visual feedback to the operator, showing the target's position relative to the radar system. The control knobs allow the operator to adjust the azimuth and elevation angles, as well as the range scale.

The electronic circuitry within the AERI subassembly processes the radar signals received from the antenna and calculates the target's position based on the time it takes for the radar signal to travel to the target and back. This information is then displayed on the screen, allowing the operator to track the target's movement and determine its position accurately.

Overall, the AERI subassembly plays a crucial role in radar systems by providing real-time tracking and positioning information for targets. It helps operators make informed decisions and effectively monitor the airspace or battlefield.
