USN Naval Radar Info

To answer staggerwing at least for USN assets they would typically have some combination of these air search RADARs depending on the type of ship.

Some common examples:

AN/SPY-1 AN/SPY-1 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

AN/SPS-48 AN/SPS-48 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

AN/SPS-49 AN/SPS-49 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia


250nm+ range in general with the SPY-1 and SPS-48 being phased array height finding RADARs.


I have a piece of SPS-49 antenna that I had to cut off with a hacksaw sitting on my desk.
