The AN/FPS-14 was a medium-range search Radar used by the United States Air Force Air Defense Command. This medium-range search radar was designed and built by Bendix as a SAGE system gap-filler radar to provide low-altitude coverage. Operating in the S-band at a frequency between 2700 and 2900 MHz, the AN/FPS-14 could detect at a range of 65 ...
Like the other three gap-fillers under the control of Custer AFS, the Saugatuck Gap Filler Annex was designed to be unmanned and was operated remotely by the prime site. Also, like the other gap-fillers, the Saugatuck annex employed AN/FST-1 Coordinate Data Transmitter to send radar data to the immense AN/FSQ-7 computer housed at SAGE Direction ...

Medium range, Two-dimensional, L band radar system utilized by the United States Marine Corps from the early 1980s until finally retired in 2018. This mobile radar was developed by Northrop Grumman and complimented the AN/TPS-59 long range radar by providing 360 degree, gap-filling coverage of low altitude areas. [19]
Radar station personnel monitored systems (e.g., local radars and remote radars at gap-filler annexes) and at most radar stations, used CDTS equipment such as the antenna control unit and the Range Height Indicator—CDTS range precision was 1,300 ft (400 m).

Gap-filler and semi-mobile radar stations On 18 January 1952, ADC proposed the construction of small, unmanned stations with gap filler radars. [2]: 227 The USAF Directorate of Plans (War Plans Division) "prepared the proposal … to add 29 mobile and 135 low-altitude stations to ADC's radar system" for completion by the end of 1955.
