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.
The Ground/Air Task Oriented Radar (G/ATOR) is a single material solution for the mobile Multi-Role Radar System and Ground Weapons Locating Radar (GWLR) requirements. It is a three-dimensional, short/medium-range multi-role radar designed to detect unmanned aerial systems, cruise missiles, air-breathing targets, rockets, artillery, and mortars.
The radar is designed with high resistance to electronic countermeasures (ECM) and anti-radiation missiles (ARM). [ 1 ] The system automatically acquires, tracks, classifies , identifies and reports high- and low-altitude targets, including cruise missiles , unmanned aerial vehicles , and both rotary- and fixed-wing aircraft .
The AN/MSQ-77 radar track began after the aircraft (A/C) arrived near the Initial Point (IP) on a heading toward the target. When the computer's groundspeed and elevation rate servos had stabilized to the A/C cartesian velocity from the differentiating amplifiers, an operator placed the central into "computer track" to provide rate-aided ...
The AN-FPQ 6 radar was built by RCA and was, effectively, a development of the AN-FPS 16. The Q6, as it was known by those who worked on it, was an amplitude comparison monopulse C-band radar, with a 2.8 MW peak klystron transmitter tunable from 5.4 to 5.8 GHz, which had a 9-meter parabolic antenna, having 52 dB gain, a 0.6 degree beam width, utilizing a Cassegrainian feed with a five horn ...
Target Acquisition Designation Sight/Pilot Night Vision Sensor TADS FLIR turreted sensor for target acquisition, range-finding and target illumination using laser-guided missiles [5] AN/AAQ-13: Pod-mounted radar and FLIR system included in LANTIRN: F-15E Strike Eagle, F-16 Fighting Falcon: Lockheed Martin: AN/AAQ-14
The Radar Course Directing Central included a defense acquisition radar ("ACQR" [3] e.g., General Electric AN/MPQ-43 High Power Acquisition Radar), a Target Tracking Radar (TTR), and a radar/computer subsystem for controlling the MIM-14 Nike-Hercules.
It has a range of up to 3,000 km (1,600 nmi; 1,900 mi), depending on target/mode. [3] Made by Raytheon, it is the primary radar for the Terminal High Altitude Area Defense (THAAD) missile system, but also cues the AN/MPQ-53 radar of the MIM-104 Patriot system. Patriot PAC-3 is a lower-altitude missile and air defense system than THAAD.
