====RTD assignment====
By June 1965, RADC was assigned to AFSC's Research and Technology Division and had a '''Communications Research Branch'''{{r|Pratt}} (an early 1960s plan to rename RADC to the '''Air Force Electromagnetics Laboratory''' was not implemented.){{Citation needed|date=June 2014}}  RADC's [[Program 673A]] research resulted in the 440L System Program Office for the [[Forward Scatter Over-the-Horizon network]] ([http://www.designation-systems.net/usmilav/projects.html AN/FRT-80 transmitters & AN/FSQ-76 receivers)] being established on 1 July 1965 (RADC's "Data Reduction Center"{{Where|reason=On Griffiss AFB, or at an off-base annex?|date=June 2012}} processed [[Aviano AB#440L Correlation Center|440L data]] transmitted to the [[Cheyenne Mountain Complex]].<ref>{{Cite NORAD Historical Summary |year=1965B |accessdate=date [[tbd]]}}</ref>

RADC developed a 1960s [[machine translation]] for [[Russian language]] documents and in the late 1960s, RADC coordinated the [[Ling-Temco-Vought]]  AN/TRN-26 deployable [[TACAN]]<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.fas.org/man/dod-101/sys/ac/equip/an-trn-26.htm|title = AN/TRN-26 (Deployable TACAN)}}</ref> development for the [[Vietnam War]] (1st units went to [[Israel]] and [[Camp David]]'s "DVD" site.){{Citation needed|date=June 2014}}  In the 1970s [[War On Drugs]], RADC [[COMPASS TRIP]] research investigated "multispectral reconnaissance techniques to locate opium poppy fields".{{r|SmithByrd}}  By December 1977 RADC had developed{{r|SmithByrd}} the 322 watt "solid state transmitter and receiver module"<ref name=ADA088323>{{Cite report |author=Engineering Panel on the PAVE PAWS Radar System |year=1979 |title=Radiation Intensity of the PAVE PAWS Radar System |url=http://apps.dtic.mil/dtic/tr/fulltext/u2/a088323.pdf |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140714130334/http://www.dtic.mil/dtic/tr/fulltext/u2/a088323.pdf |url-status=live |archive-date=July 14, 2014 |number=ADA 088323  |publisher=National Academy of Sciences |access-date=2014-06-05  }}</ref> while "responsible for {{bracket|[[PAVE PAWS]]}} design, fabrication installation, integration test, and evaluation" (through 1980).{{r|SmithByrd}}
