In 1944, the US Army contracted [7] for an electronic "computer with guns, a tracking radar, plotting boards and communications equipment" (M33C & M33D models used different subassemblies for 90 & 120 mm gun/ammunition ballistics.) [3] The "trial model predecessor" (T-33) was used as late as 1953, [8] and the production M33 (each $383,000 in 1954 dollars) [9] had been deployed in 1950. [10]
Permanent System radar stations, the Air Defense Command manual network of radar stations prior to deployment of SAGE; Pinetree Line, a series of radar stations located across southern Canada at about the 50th parallel north. Lashup Radar Network radar stations, the radar stations deployed 1950-2 when the "Radar Fence" Plan was not approved
The AMES Type 80, sometimes known by its development rainbow code Green Garlic, [1] was a powerful early warning (EW) and ground-controlled interception (GCI) radar developed by the Telecommunications Research Establishment (TRE) and built by Decca for the Royal Air Force (RAF).
Command guidance is a type of missile guidance in which a ground station or aircraft relay signals to a guided missile via radio control or through a wire connecting the missile to the launcher and tell the missile where to steer to intercept its target.
The environment allowed radar station personnel to monitor the radar data and systems' status (e.g., Arctic Tower radome pressure) and to use the range height equipment to process height requests from Direction Center (DC) personnel. DCs received the Long Range Radar Input from the sector's radar stations, and DC personnel monitored the radar ...
The Distant Early Warning (DEW) Line, constructed in the late 1950s, was reaching obsolescence in the 1980s.With the signing of North American Air Defence Modernization agreement at the "Shamrock Summit" between Prime Minister Mulroney and President Reagan in Quebec City on 18 March 1985, the DEW Line began its eventual upgrading and transition becoming the North Warning System (NWS) of today.
The C-Band Radar Transponder (Model SST-135C) is intended to increase the range and accuracy of the radar ground stations equipped with AN/FPS-16, and AN/FPQ-6 Radar Systems. C-band radar stations at the Kennedy Space Center, along the Atlantic Missile Range, and at many other locations around the world, provide global tracking capabilities.
However, unlike Mk.63, the fire-control radar was installed on the directional board rather than on the gun side. [6] Of AN/SPG-34, Mk.63 adopted mod.1 and mod.2 while Mk.57 adopted mod.3 and mod.4. [4] Later, based on the Mk.63, the Mk.70 was also developed as a derivative of the Ku-band AN/SPG-52 range-finding radar. [1]
