Multiple issues, especially related to factual details

This topic is in need of attention from an expert on the subject.

The section or sections that need attention may be noted in a message below.

I'm adding this section as a place to link to from the expert needed tag I added (among multiple maintenance tags). I'm hoping to address some of the red links and inline cleanup tags, but I'm out of my depth; so far, I've only made some progress with the former.

For example, I had trouble parsing the following:

the 1963 Holloman AFB program for Athena/ABRES installed "two 3 megawatt dual frequency L-band and UHF radar systems" by Continental Electronics^[26] (AFMDC's RAM Site at Rhodes Canyon and the "Stallion radar site located uprange" on WSMR were "used to obtain the crossrange aspect of re-entry data.")^[27]

And when I read the source for the second citation, "Forty Years of Research and Development at Griffis Air Force Base: June 1951 – June 1991," I found the following on page 66 (emphasis mine):

Located at the White Sands Missile Range, Holloman AFB, New Mexico, RATSCAT was a radar reflectivity measurement range used to measure radar cross-sections of objects. Radar was tested at an experimental interval between the RATSCAT and a Stallion radar site located uprange, which was used to obtain the crossrange aspect of re-entry data.

Perhaps to a subject matter expert, the relationship between "AFMDC's RAM Site at Rhodes Canyon" and "RATSCAT" in the source documentation is obvious, but I couldn't understand it from either that citation or the preceding, which links to material locked behind a paywall. – spida-tarbell ❀ (talk) (contribs) 02:09, 29 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
