Radar, Anti-Aircraft Number 4 Mark 7, or AA No.4 Mk.7 for short, was a mobile medium-range tactical control radar used by the British Army.It was intended to rapidly scan the sky and quickly indicate targets that could then be handed off to anti-aircraft artillery batteries who would then aim their own gun laying radars like the AA No. 3 Mk. 7 using the image provided from the No. 4 on a ...
Marine radars are used by ships for collision avoidance and navigation purposes. The frequency band of radar used on most ships is X band (9 GHz/3 cm), but S band (3 GHz/10 cm) radar is also installed on most oceangoing ships to provide better detection of ships in rough sea and heavy rain condition.
Tethered Aerostat Radar System in New Mexico. The first aerostats were assigned to the United States Air Force in December 1980 at Cudjoe Key, Florida.During the 1980s, the U.S. Customs Service operated a network of aerostats to help counter illegal drug trafficking.
The Radar Set AN/MPQ-4 was a US Army counter-battery radar primarily used to find the location of enemy mortars and larger artillery in a secondary role. Built by General Electric , it first entered service in 1958, replacing the earlier and much simpler AN/MPQ-10 .
The AN/TPS-43 radar set. The AN/TPS-43 is a transportable air search 3D radar produced in the United States originally by Westinghouse Electric Corporation's Defense and Electronic Division, which was later purchased by Northrop Grumman.
For testing the prototype system, it was set up on an area recently occupied by Japan along the coast of China. The system operated between 4.0–7.5 MHz (75–40 m) and involved a number of widely spaced stations; this formed a radio screen that could detect the presence (but nothing more) of an aircraft at distances up to 500 km (310 mi).
SJ radar was a type of S band (10-cm) radar set used on American submarines [3] during the Second World War. [4] The widespread use of the SJ radar, combined with the very low use of radar in the Imperial Japanese Navy, gave great operational flexibility to the United States Navy's submarine campaign in the Pacific Ocean.
AN/APQ-116 was basically the integration of previously independent AN/APQ-115 TFR into the ILAAS digital navigation system. The radar also fed a digital weapons computer which made possible accurate delivery of bombs from a greater stand-off distance, greatly improving survivability compared with faster platforms such as the F-4 Phantom II.
