aargee:
I would venture a ground based piece of gear given the construction used.
I agree with the simulator suggestion, particularly in the simulation control area. I have seen something similar from last century simulators.

MadTux:
I would strip that thing for parts, not much use for such a panel.
74 logic, EPROMs,  EPM7096 CPLD, opamps, DC/DC converters.... are always useful for repair or DIY projects and cost quite some money if bought new on ebay.

adriansmith31:
I think I will do just that. I could make use of those parts for several projects and the case would be useful. I haven't managed to make any sense of the data protocol but programming up an Arduino to look for a particular character when a key is pressed is easy enough. It's figuring out how to control the lights and led displays. It's beginning to look like it's more trouble than it's worth but I might persevere with it a bit more. I have a strong feeling ill be taken off furlough in the new year so that will leave me with little time to mess around at home with electronics projects.

I think it is short for Radar as that was sent to the TV Tab displays presumably as a video signal that was able to be recorded on to the VCR

that does seem like a useful thing to review during a debriefing
