AN/TPS-70 explained

AN/TPS-70 is a mobile rotating S band phased array 3D radar produced by Westinghouse (Northrop Grumman).[1] It can track 500 targets, displaying target range, height, azimuth, identification friend or foe (IFF) information from an altitude of 0 to 100000abbr=offNaNabbr=off to a maximum range of 240nmi. It is the successor of the AN/TPS-43.
