The probability of detecting a given target at a given range any time the radar beam scans across it, Pd is determined by factors that include the size of the antenna and the amount of power it radiates. A large antenna radiating at high power provides the best performance. For high quality information on moving targets the Pd must be very high.
The AR-320 is a 3D early warning radar developed by the UK's Plessey in partnership with US-based ITT-Gilfillan.The system combined the receiver electronics, computer systems and displays of the earlier Plessey AR-3D with a Gilfillan-developed transmitter and planar array antenna from their S320 series.
AN/APS-21 search radar by Westinghouse Electric (1886) for part of AN/APQ-35 for Douglas F3D Skynight and Gloster Meteor NF; AN/APS-23 search radar by Western Electric for Convair B-36 North American B-45C Tornado Boeing B-47E Stratojet B-50 Superfortress B-52 Stratofortress Lockheed C-130 Hercules and Boeing C-135 Stratolifter part of AN/ASB-3
The APG-63 was developed in the early 1970s and has been operational since 1973, and was installed on all F-15A/Bs. [1] In 1979, it received a major upgrade and became the first airborne radar to incorporate a software programmable signal processor (PSP), and the PSP allowed the system to be modified to accommodate new modes and weapons through software reprogramming rather than by hardware ...
Other innovations were radars with frequency hopping; the P-10 Volga A (NATO: KNIFE REST B) in 1953, radars with transmitter signal coherency and special features like moving target indicator (MTI); the P-12 Yenisei (NATO: SPOON REST) in 1955 as well as the P-70 Lena-M with chirp signal modulation in 1968 [2] or the widely used P-18 Terek (NATO ...
Power 6 MW The AN/SPY-1 [ a ] is a United States Navy passive electronically scanned array (PESA) 3D radar system manufactured by Lockheed Martin , and is a key component of the Aegis Combat System .
The AN/APY-10 is an American multifunction radar developed for the U.S. Navy's Boeing P-8 Poseidon maritime patrol and surveillance aircraft. [1] AN/APY-10 is the latest descendant of a radar family originally developed by Texas Instruments, and now Raytheon after it acquired the radar business of TI, for Lockheed P-3 Orion, the predecessor of P-8.
The AN/FPS-117 is an L-band active electronically scanned array (AESA) 3-dimensional air search radar first produced by GE Aerospace in 1980 and now part of Lockheed Martin. [1] [2] The system offers instrumented detection at ranges on the order of 200 to 250 nautical miles (370 to 460 km; 230 to 290 mi) and has a wide variety of interference and clutter rejection systems.
