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]
This app is universal, and can be used on both iPhone and iPad. Other apps by Weather Underground include WunderStation [30] for iPad and WunderMap [31] for iOS and Android. In 2017, Weather Underground removed support for "Storm," in favor of the "Storm Radar" app released by The Weather Channel Interactive in June 2017. [32]
The Type 904 radar tracker was also developed as a derivative of the GWS.22 Seacat air defense missile system. [4] In addition, the Mk.64 GUNAR, which changed the shooting command radar to the gun side equipment (initially the same AN/SPG-34 as the Mk.63, later AN/SPG-48), was also developed, and this was mainly used by the Royal Canadian Navy.
The APG-71 was a 1980s upgrade of the AWG-9 for use on the F-14D Tomcat.It incorporates technology and common modules developed for the APG-70 radar used in the F-15E Strike Eagle, providing significant improvements in (digital) processing speed, mode flexibility, clutter rejection, and detection range.
AN/APQ-50 is the radar installed on low-rate initial production batch of F-4s, but as with earlier radars, it was not used in great numbers in comparison to later radars of the same family. The parabolic antenna is 24 inches in diameter, and in addition to providing all weather capability, AN/APQ-50 FCR also provides information on automatic ...
Mark 1A Computer Mk 37 Director above the bridge of destroyer USS Cassin Young with AN/SPG-25 radar antenna. The Mark 1, and later the Mark 1A, Fire Control Computer was a component of the Mark 37 Gun Fire Control System deployed by the United States Navy during World War II and up to 1991 and possibly later.
AN/SPQ-9A (sometimes pronounced as "spook nine") is a United States Navy multi-purpose surface search and fire control radar used with the Mk-86 gun fire-control system (MK86 GFCS). It is a two dimensional surface-search radar, meaning it provides only range and bearing but not elevation. It is intended primarily to detect and track targets at ...
Post-war models added a small radar to automate the range measurement; these are known as radar gunsights. Gyro sights usually contained more than one reticle to assist in proper aiming: a fixed one, often just a dot, signifying the direction the guns are pointing, a moving one showing the corrected aiming point, and a ring to match to a target ...
