The AN/MPQ-64 Sentinel is an X-band electronically steered pulse-Doppler 3D radar system used to alert and cue Short Range Air Defense (SHORAD) weapons to the locations of hostile targets approaching their front line forces. It is currently produced by Raytheon Missiles & Defense.

In addition to range, the more common two-dimensional radar provides only azimuth for direction, whereas the 3D radar also provides elevation. Applications include weather monitoring, air defense, and surveillance. The information provided by 3D radar has long been required, particularly for air defence and interception. Interceptors must be ...
ARSR-3 and 3D search radar were used by the FAA in the Joint Surveillance System (JSS). The radar operated in the L-band at 1250 to 1350 MHz and detected targets at distances beyond 210 nautical miles; 390 kilometres (240 mi). The D model had height-finder capability. Westinghouse also built ARSR-4 3-D air surveillance radar in the 1990s for ...
The AN/TPY-4, formerly known as the TPY-X, is a ground-based, active electronically scanned array, L-band, multi-function long-range 3D radar for air defense surveillance, built by Lockheed Martin. [2] It is a radar capable of multi-mission operation, and perform simultaneously the following work: air surveillance; low profile UAS detection
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 system is computer controlled and uses four complementary antennas to provide 360-degree coverage.

Immediately after World War II, the development of a radar with a new principle called 3D radar began. First, the multi-beam type AN/SPS-2 was developed, but the mechanism was too complicated, so it was only prototyped. Later, as an epoch-making electronic scanning method, Mr. Yarou of Hughes developed a method called frequency scanning (FRESCAN).
