Background

The Field Research Testing Instrument was used between 1974 and 1977 to aid Field Recovery Technicians in the detection of transient objects via distinct electromagnetic signatures.

This instrument was used in the field in conjunction with more advanced signal analysis completed by mainframe computers within the Arthur Reese Building. Field Recovery Technicians would utilize the Field Research Testing Instrument to pinpoint the location of concealed transient objects (e.g., in areas with significant clutter, objects at depth, or REDACTED).

More focused signature readings could be made using the supplied and cable-attached FK-SCAN module, which could be hand-held or tripod-mounted.

Procedure

This is not a transient object. However, this item contains references to REDACTED REDACTED and is therefore included in this archive as requested. No further procedural information is available.

Other

This device is no longer in service. For more information regarding the current detection of transient objects, please refer to REDACTED.
