4. GLOSSARY OF ABBREVIATIONS
Appendix B is a glossary of the abbreviations used
in this publication.
Abbreviations are listed
alphabetically, letter-by-letter, without regard to
punctuation or the number of words contained in the
abbreviated phrase.

2. SCOPE

5. DETAILS OF CONTENT

This publication contains technical and functional

descriptions,
logistical
information,
installation
considerations, and reference data for radar equipments
used in the Department of Defense. Ground, airborne,
and shipborne equipments are included.

Descriptions of individual equipments are presented

in a standard format. The first page of each description
includes an illustration (if available) and all information,
needed for general identification of the equipment.
More detailed information appears on a second and,
succeeding pages. The nomenclature at the top of each
page indicates the specific equipment described on that
page. Parentheses attached to the type designation
indicate that the description applies to more than one
model of the equipment. If only specific models of an
equipment are covered by a description, the type
designation for each is listed at the top of the page.

3. ARRANGEMENT OF CONTENTS
MIL- HDBK-162A is a two-volume publication.
Volume 1 contains descriptions of unclassified radar
equipments, while Volume 2 contains descriptions only
of those equipments classified "CONFI-DENTIAL." Each
volume is divided into three major sections - Ground
Radar, Airborne Radar, and Shipborne Radar. Within
each section, equipments are listed alphanumerically,
according to type designation.

Cognizant Service is defined as that service

responsible for procuring the equipment and/or applying
for its nomenclature.
FSN is the abbreviation of Federal Stock Number,
the number assigned to an equipment for supply
cataloging. The FSN is a combination of the Federal
Supply Classification number and the Federal Item
Identification Number.

Equipments are designated by one of the five

nomenclature systems used in this handbook. Although
the majority of the equipments are designated according
to the Joint Electronics Type Designation System
(JETDS), the following systems are also used:
(Appendix A contains detailed explanations of each of
these systems).

If available, a photograph of. each equipment is

included. For some of the complex equipments,

stylized drawings are used. Minor accessories are

deleted from most of the photographs, and, in some,
not all major components are shown.
Data is included for only the major operating
components. The topics covered are:
(1) Functional Description
(2) Relation to Similar Equipment
(3) Technical Description
(4) Installation Considerations
(5) Reference Data and Literature

items will not be issued and will be disposed of at the

earliest practicable date by the chief of the responsible
agency in accordance with the existing instructions,
except in those special cases where they are to be
retained for special requirements outside of the
established Army supply program.
Where the
development and procurement status of the new types
make such action desirable, the chief of the responsible
development agency will recommend reclassification of
former types through the technical committee.

In addition, a table, listing principal components with

dimensions and weights, is included.

b. U. S. Navy Equipment Classification System.

The following terms are used by the U. S. Navy
to describe the status of its equipment.

6. STATUS OF EQUIPMENT CLASSIFICATION

Each department of the Department of Defense
uses its own status of equipment classification.

(1) Standard(Std).
The most advanced and
satisfactory articles adopted, and those which are
preferred for procurement.

a. U. S. Army Equipment Classification System.

The following terms are used by the U. S. Army to
describe the status of Army equipment.

(2) Limited standard (Ltd Std). Articles which do

not have satisfactory military characteristics as standard
articles, but are usable substitutes for standard articles.
Complete major units will not be procured, but
component parts and accessories and complementary
articles, even though they may be limited standard
articles, may be procured if necessary and economical,
to maintain the complete major units in serviceable
condition throughout a reasonable life expectancy.

(1) Standard A (Std-A) designates items which are

preferred for operational requirements. Both complete
and end items and necessary repair parts and
components may be procured.
(2) . Standard B (Std-B) designates items which are
acceptable to fill operational requirements. Repair parts
and components to support end items already in the
system may be procured. Complete end items will not
be procured without program approval by the Deputy
Chief of Staff for Logistics.

(3) Substitute standard(Sub Std). Articles which do

not have as satisfactory military characteristics as
standard articles and, when necessary, may be procured
to supplement the supply for standard articles.
(4) Planned standard (P Std). Those articles under
evaluation which have been indicated by the Ship
Characteristics Board for installation t h r o u g h the
Ship Improvement Guide on new construction and
conversion projects. Approval for service use prior to
installation is required for articles in this category.

(3) Standard C (Std-C) designates items which are

only marginally accepted for operation requirements,
and will be phased out of the system as stocks of more
acceptable items become adequate to meet
requirements. End items in stock may be maintained to
the extent permitted by repair parts and components
already on hand or by cannibalization. No procurement
of repair parts or complete overhaul programs in this
category will be effected without program approval by
the Deputy Chief of Staff for Logistics.

(5) Obsolescent (Obsoles). Those articles which do

not have satisfactory military characteristics. Complete
units,
component
parts,
accessories,
and
complementary a r t i c l e s normally will not be
procured for the specific purpose of maintaining this
equipment; however, spare parts common to other
equipment in the supply established may be used for
their maintenance.

(4) Obsolete type (Obs) designates an item or

assemblage which has been declared unsuitable for
military (Army) use. Obsolete

(6) Obsolete (Obs). Those articles that have been

declared unsuitable for their original military purpose.
Disposal of obsolete articles will, in all cases, be
expedited.

FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
The AM-229/UP is a repeater unit for video signals
and trigger pulses. It is designed to be used when it is
desired to transmit radar data to a remote repeater at a
distance in excess of the maximum distance ordinarily

allowed. Since the video and trigger voltage outputs of

the various radar equipments vary considerably, the
distance at which the use of the video amplifier AM229/UP is necessary must be determined by trial. For
most equipments, except Radar Set AN/CPS-5, this
distance will be around 750 ft. Since the

FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
Radar. Set AN/CPN-18, 18A, 18C, 18D is a S-band
medium range radar portion of an Air Traffic Control
System. The radar set detects and locates aircraft
targets within 53 nautical miles (61.5 statute miles) of an

air terminal and displays the target information for air

traffic control personnel to permit them to direct and
control the aircraft (via radio communications equipment
that is not part of this radar). In association with
auxiliary equipment, the radar set is also capable of
identifying

certain aircraft within the radar coverage area and of
tracking these aircraft at distances too great to permit
tracking them with the radar system alone.
RELATION TO SIMILAR EQUIPMENT
Radar Set AN/CPN-18D is similar to and one-way
interchangeable with AN/CPN-18, 18A, 18C. Differs in
that AN/CPN-IBD is modified per T.O. 31P5-2CPN18539.
Radar Set AN/CPN-18C is similar to and
functionally interchangeable with AN/CPN-18A. Differs
in that Indicator Group OA-348/CPN-IBA is replaced by
Indicator Group OA-2238/CPN-18C and range is
increased to 200 miles. AN/CPN-18C is a composite of
AN/CPN-18 and AN/CPN-18A.
Radar Set AN/CPN-18 is similar to AN/CPN-4 and
AN/MPN-11 differs in that AN/CPN-18 does not include
the precision portion of equipment and is not trailer
mounted.

Mfg(s) Name or Code Number: Bendix Radio Div. of Bendix Aviation Corporation (06845)

FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
The Radar Set AN/FPN-1(XN-2) is designed as a
fixed ground radar system for airport surveillance,
height finding, and for guiding aircraft for safe approach
to the airport runway under all conditions of visibility.

Accurate and continuous information regarding the

location of incoming aircraft with respect to the
predetermined glide path is presented to the operators
in the form of azimuth range and elevation data by the
radar portion of the equipment. This

TYPE: AN/FPN-1(XN-2)
information is translated by the radar set to lateral and
vertical deviation from the selected glide path, and the
pilot of the incoming aircraft is instructed verbally as to
corrections he must make to keep on the glide path.
Through these instructions the pilot is guided to a
height of 75 feet or less above the runway and to within
50 ft of the runway's center line, enabling him to touch
down under visual control in the usual manner.

one of which is a standby channel that is automatically

placed in operation when the normal operating channel
develops a fault. Either vertical or circular polarization
of the radiated energy of the AN/FPS-14 is possible, and
is controlled by a switch in the control cabinet. The
visual display is enhanced by moving target indication.
This set also has provisions for accommodating slow
scanning rate video equipment to permit the
transmission of radar data to and from a remote site.

FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
The Radar Set AN'/FPS-16(V) is designed
specifically for installation at guided missile test centers
for the purpose of obtaining highly accurate trajectory
data of missiles during tests. It is capable

of acquiring and accurately tracking missiles (with or

without beacons), nose cones, boosters, tankage
assemblies, instrument packages, and debris, and of
providing trajectory data of these objects for real time or
future evaluation of performance. The data obtained
from the radar on the

position of these targets may be used to maintain range

safety. The radar can be installed as a single system or
as one of a chain of radars along the flight path to
ensure sufficient tracking throughout the entire missile
flight. Radar Set AN/ FPS-16(V) is capable of tracking
earth orbiting satellites. The accuracy of Radar Set
AN/FPS-16(V) is such that the position data obtained
from point-source targets has azimuth and elevation
angular errors of less than 0.1 mil rms and range errors
of less than 5 yards rms, with a signal-to noise ratio of
20 decibels (db) or greater.

INSTALLATION CONSIDERATIONS
Siting: Of primary importance in selecting a site is it's height above the
surrounding terrain.
Mounting: Both Channels of the AN/FPS-30 are housed
on the same floor in the building and each cabinet is
shielded to prevent interference from an external source
or interference within the system. The radar equipment
is located on the mezzanine floor at the icecape site,
and on the sixth floor at the coastal site.
Cabling Requirements: The difference in the position of
the radar equipment on the respective floors at each site
and the distance from the antenna equipment, requires
different lengths of RF transmission lines, RF and power
cables and cable conduits.
Related Equipment: Radar Set Console AN/FPS-19
(Modified).

INSTALLATION CONSIDERATIONS:
Siting: An ideal operating site is one that provides
maximum range detection capabilities in all
directions with a minimum of ground clutter, shadow
areas, and ghost images. The radar site should be
located at an elevated position and the line-of-sight
path from the radar to all points on the horizon
should be level or slanting slightly downward.
Mounting: Antenna and antenna components are
installed on a reinforced concrete foundation. A
weatherproof shelter is necessary for the protection
of installed radar operating components.
This
shelter must be located not more than 20 ft from the
antenna.

RELATION TO SIMILAR EQUIPMENT

amplifiers associated with the antenna drive system
have been removed from the antenna pedestal and are
now mounted in the RT-639/ FPS-77(V) shelter for ease
of maintenance. The solid state circuitry which proved
to be highly temperature sensitive has been replaced by
electron tubes. The modular construction concept has
been retained but with additional test provisions to aid in
trouble-shooting.

The AN/FPS-77(V) replaces the AN/FPS-68. The

AN/FPS-77(V) will differ from the AN/ FPS-68 in several
distinct areas. The AN/FPS-77(V) has several built-in
test facilities. The main PPI has been changed from a
dark viewing phosphor tube to a daylight indicator
utilizing a storage tube. The remote indicator has
likewise been changed to the daylight indicator design.
A camera has been added for photographing the main
PPI, the RHI, and the A/R scopes of the main console.
The range markers have been changed from a
countdown circuit design. The elevation drive system
for the antenna (and the RHI scope) has been provided
with an elevation sector scan feature. The RT-639/FPS77(V) unit has been changed from a table-mounted
design, which proved very cumbersome in maintenance
and servicing, to a floor-mounted design employing pullout chassis construction. Front and back access to the
RT639/FPS-77(V) has been provided. The servo

TYPE: AN/FPS-90, AN/FPS-507
RELATION TO SIMILAR EQUIPMENT
Radar Set AN/FPS-90 has been assigned to Radar
Sets AN/FPS-6( ) which have had the mechanical
variable-nod mechanism removed from the antenna.
The variable-nod controls remain in place, but are not
used. Radar Set AN/FPS-507 performs the same
functions as Radar Set AN/FPS-6B but performs them
with greater reliability due to the substitution of Radar
Transmitter T-5030/FPS-507. The reliability of the
transmitter is due essential to the employment of
Canadian Marconi type 7182 magnetron. Also, units of
Radar Set AN'FPS-6B are modified to produce Radar

AN/GPA-58, AN/GPA-58A
a dual modulator while Radar Set AN/FPS-20A is of the single
modulator type. A rotary joint in the antenna pedestal
replaces the slip rings used on the systems being converted.
The rotary joint permits the entire complement of electronic
equipment to be located away from the rotating antenna
support. Therefore, the receivers, transmitters, and control
equipment have been placed inside a heated shelter to
facilitate maintenance.
This feature permits training of
personnel, using the standby channel, without interrupting
normal operation of the facility. In addition, preventative
maintenance can be performed on one transmitter receiver
group while the other is operating, thereby reducing off-the-air
time. Control circuits are simplified since there is no longer a
requirement for control at both the antenna and the control
shelter locations.
Channel switching is accomplished by a change over
switch which automatically changes transmitter-receiver
groups and controls the position of the waveguide switch.
Radar Set AN/FPS-20 (dual modulator system) and Radar
Set AN/FPS-20A (single modulator system) equipment
employs a line feed instead of the four-horn feed used on the
systems being converted. The effective range for small
targets has been increased by an improvement in noise figure,
higher transmitter-power output, and a reduction in receiver
bandwidth. However, the maximum range is limited by the
system prf (pulse repetition frequency).
The MTI (moving target indicator) system circuits reduce
the scanning clutter received from fixed ground targets. This
is accomplished with two quartz delay lines in cascade with
feedback circuits around the delay lines. MTI performance is
further improved by a reduction of power supply ripple in the
transmitter and receiver power supplies.
The new receiving system uses a video enhancement
circuit which is very effective in reducing interference from
other radar equipment using a different pulse repetition
frequency. It is not necessary to have a blanking trigger from
the interfering radar equipment for the video enhancement
circuit to function. Interference from other radar equipment
with an identical repetition rate is not a serious problem since
it is displayed on the PPI (plan position indicator) scope as a
single narrow ring of constant range and does not hamper, to
any large extent, normal scope readings.
The antichaff receiver, a useful antijamming device,
assists in the elimination of undesirable signals caused by
chaff.
The high-power radar system utilizes a three-cavity
klystron in place of the magnetron employed in the mediumpower sets.

AN/GPA-27A is similar to Radar Set Group

AN/GPA-57A
and
AN/GPA-5BA
but
not
interchangeable. The AN/GPA-27 is similar to Radar
Set Group AN/GPA-57, and AN/GPA-58 but not
interchangeable.
Radar Set Groups AN/GPA-27A,
AN/GPA-57A, and AN/GPA-5BA are similar to and
interchangeable as a whole with Radar Set Groups
AN/GPA-27, AN/GPA-57, and AN/GPA-5B respectively,
but are the preferred models and differ in the four type
1754 thyroton tubes being replaced by a single type
1257 tube.

FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
Interference Blanker Group AN/GPA-28 is used to
protect a group of up to three radar receivers from
nearby radar transmitter interference. The trigger output
of the radar receiver component is applied to
Interference Blanker Group AN/GPA-28. Operation of
the blanker unit causes the interference to be bracketed
with a negative blanking gate. The width of the blanking
gate may be manually adjusted, by front panel controls,
within the limits of 5 to 100 M sec.
Since the
interference is not usually synchronized with the
protected radar, the loss of desired information is
negligible.

AN/GPA-28: 1

Siting: Determined by the location of the particular

radar installation to be protected against
interference signals.
Mounting: Equipment may be located in Shelter S63/CPN-18. No provision has been made for
outdoor operation.
Cabling Requirements:
Related Equipment: When used with radar sets
other than the AN/CPN-18, Delay Line
MX1788/CPN-18 is removed from the blanker
subassembly, and a different, applicable delay
line substituted.

FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
AN/GPA-33 Arctic Equipment provides a completely
weather-proofed housing for the antenna and radar
cabinets of either Radar Set AN4/TPS-IOD (AN/FPS-4)
or Radar Set AN/TPS-ID. This installation permits the

radar to remain operable during high winds or under

icing conditions, or other extremes of weather which
might affect the normal Radar Set installation. Arctic

are placed. The platform of the tower is used as a base
for the pressure-supported radome.
Wind Speed
Transmitter T-151/FPS- :A, commonly known as the
anemometer, translates wind velocity into dc voltage.
The various voltages are fed into a sense circuit to
actuate relay controlling radome pressure, so that the
radome remains firmly inflated and does not dimple -in,
despite wind velocity increases. Indicator Panel ID312/FPS-3 located within the operations shelter,
indicates the radome pressure range at any specific
time. Blower blow air into the radome to inflate and
support it.
Electric Desiccant Dehumidifier HD191/GPA-33 removes the moisture from the air of the
radome proper. Interlockingis provided within each
radar system, which prevents the antenna from
operating if radome pressure becomes dangerously low.
The de-icing lamp banks when focused on the radome
interior surface, prevents ice and snow from building up
on the radome exterior. The AN/GPA-33 also has a
pressure chamber which prevents loss of radome
pressure when entry or exit is made.
RELATION TO SIMILAR EQUIPMENT
None.
TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION
Arctic equipment is designed to keep Radar Set
AN/FPS-4 or Radar Set AN/TPS-1D operable in the
temperature range of minus 54C (minus 65.2F) to
71C (159.8F), under wind velocities up to 109 knots,
and at altitudes up to 7000 feet. The arctic tower
concrete footing for soil foundations withstand loads
footing for soil foundations withstand loads of 4000
pounds per square foot and 15000 pounds per square
foot. The arctic tower is capable of withstanding two
inches of ice over the radome without exceeding normal
structural safety factors. The anemometer indicates
wind speed through a 0-100 knot range, the double-bed
dehumidifier has a maximum capacity of 37,000 grans
of water per hour at 24C, inlet air temperature. De-

icing lamp banks each consist of 21 infra-red, 375 watt

lamps. The floors and plat-form of the arctic tower are
designed to withstand a live load of 100 pounds per
square foot. The platform is 20 feet in diameter and the
radome is 20 feet high and has a spherical radius of 121/2 feet, .
Power Requirements: 120/208v (plus or minus 5v), 60
cycle (plus or minus pct), three-phase primary
power through a four-wire" system.
INSTALLATION CONDSIDERATIONS
Sitting : In planning the location of the arctic tower site,
consideration must be given the amount of space
available, natural or man-made structures that
would interfere e with the radar pattern, the slope
and type of ground where the tower is to be located,
and layout of existing facilities.
Mounting: Between components, location of the blowers,
dehumidifier, radome junction box and pressurerelief door is determined by the mounting holes
provided in the tower structure.
Cabling Requirements:
Location of AN/GPA-33 is
limited by the lengths of the cables to the power
shelter and operation shelter, and the length of the
cable connecting the windspeed transmitter to the
indicator panel.
There also must be 75 feet
minimum separation from the prime radar and
AN/GPA-33.
Related Equipments: Radar Set Group AN/GPA-33 is
designed to support and house the antenna and
cabinets of either Radar Set AN//TPS-10D
(AN/FPS-4) or Radar Set AN/TPS-1D.
While
designed specifically for these radars the arctic
tower is capable of accommodating similar radars,
so long as the floor loading limitations and radome
dimensions are not exceeded.

FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
Radar Set Group AN/GPA-50 provides an enclosed
arctic tower suitable for the installation and operation of
a complete radar set, such as Radar Set AN/FPS-6.
The ground and second floors of the arctic tower

have adequate floor spa(e and structural strength for the

fixed components of a representative radar installation.
The top floor of the arctic tower forms an elevated
antenna platform with mounting facilities antenna table
to any of a wide variety of radar antennas. A flexible

AN/GPA-50: 1

Volume 1
Section 1

MIL-HDBK-162A
15 December 1965

ITEM NAME: RADAR SET GROUP

TYPE: AN/GPA-50
air-supported radome covers the top floor to give
complete protection of the radar antenna against the
wind, humidity, and icing conditions to be expected in
arctic installations. The Radar Set Group includes
automatic pressurizing and dehumidifying equipment
that pressurizes the radome in accordance with the
external wind conditions, that dehumidifies the air within
the radome. Radiant heaters, with manual control, are
supplied for de-icing the outer surface of the radome.
RELATION TO SIMILAR EQUIPMENT
The AN/GPA-50 is replaced by Radome-Tower
Group AN/GPA-89.
TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION
The AN/GPA-50 is unaffected by temperature within the
range from minus 540C to plus 710C (minus 65 F to
1600F).
With the radome fully pressurized, the
AN/GPA-50 can withstand wind velocities up to 125
knots. The radome, at wind velocities below 60 knots,
can support a two-inch thickness of ice. The radome
material absorbs less than 10 percent of the radiated
power, and does not introduce serious diffraction errors
in either beam angle or beam dispersion.

INSTALLATION CONSIDERATIONS
Siting: The arctic tower requires the area contained
within a circle that is 70 feet in diameter. The site
should be such that the line-of-sight beam path of
the radar equipment is not obstructed or dispersed
by mountains, hills, buildings, or wooded areas. The
terrain must be reasonably level. Marsh land, soft
clay, and loose, sandy soils should be avoided.
Mounting: Except for the pressurizing blowers and the
two dehumidifiers, the placement of the Radar Set
Group components is not critical.
Cabling
Requirements:
Maximum
spacing
of
components is solely determined by intercomponent
cable length. The Radar Set Group requires only
external power connections, for which bulk cable is
supplied.
The interconnecting cables that are
supplied with the radar equipment are long enough
to allow a wide choice of locations of the arctic
tower with respect to the operating buildings housing
the associated radar equipment.
Related Equipments: Radar Set Group AN/GPA-50 is
designed to support and house the antenna and
cabinets of Radar Set AN/FPS-6.

FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
The Interference Blanker Group is intended to
discriminate between received radar signals on the
basis of their pulse length and on their recurrence
frequency. The purpose of such discrimination is to

eliminate signals or interference from other radars

located nearby, since interference of this type makes it
difficult to see aircraft signals and may, if sufficiently
severe, preclude control of aircraft. The Interference
Blanker would reject all unwanted signals and provide a
clutter-free

FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
The AN/GPX-6A serves as a system, separate from
AN/CPS-6B main radar, which develops and transmits
IFF interrogations into a rotating beam. When the beam
intercepts a friendly aircraft, it causes the transponder in

the aircraft to operate and send out a coded response.

This response is received by the Radar Recognition Set
AN/UPX
which
then

ponder reply to video pulses. The equipment permits
the video pulses to be displayed on the PPI indicators of
the associated radar set or supplies the video pulses to
SIF Coder-Decoder Group OA-886/GPX-18A. The OA886/GPX-18A supplies coded pulses for security
identity, personnel identity, and traffic identity. The set
decodes multiple-pulse response codes transmitted by
airborne equipment in reply to interrogations or
challenges and supplies video reply signals to the
indicators of the associated radar. Interrogator output
level and receiver sensitivity are adequate for
interrogating and receiving replies from the
transponders operating within the detection range of the
associated radar.
The AN/GPX-18A may be
independently operated to track targets equipped with a
radar identification set.

RELATION TO SIMILAR EQUIPMENT:

AN/GPX-18A is similar to and interchangeable with
Interrogator Set AN/GPX-1B. The difference being the
AN/GPX-18A also decodes the response for
Transponder Set AN/APX-25. Difference between the
AN/GPX18 and AN/GPX-1BA is that the A-mode uses a
Coder-Decoder Group OA-886/GPX-1BA instead of
Code Coordinator KY-54/GPX and Switch Box SA239/GPX.
AN/GPX-1BB is similar to and interchangeable with
AN/GPX-18A, differs only in the Coder-Decoder Group
being transistorized.

only synchronous returns at the discretion of the
operator. It can select synchronous video pulses on a
mode-sensitive basis because it compares only video
returns of a particular mode of interrogation. This

function is accomplished for two separate modes of
interrogation for any selected interface ratio of the
modes. In addition, the Defruiter does the thresholding
of input noise that is required for decoding, and shapes
the input-output characteristic for optimum defruiting
and decoding action. Basically, the Defruiter is an
electronic equipment that can eliminate false target
replies and clutter from ground-beacon radar displays.

FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
The AN/MPN-3 is designed as a mobile ground
radar unit consisting of a 6 by 6 Diamond T truck which
functions as a prime mover and a four wheel trailer
which carries the majority of the operating units,

provides facilities for directing the pilot of an aircraft in

making a safe approach to an airdrome runway under
conditions of poor visibility. The search system, used
for "stacking up" aircraft preparatory of landing, presents
a radar map showing the position of aircraft within a
circular area of thirty (30) miles and an altitude

of less than four thousand (4000) feet. The precision
system presents accurate and continuous information
regarding the location of the incoming aircraft with
respect to a predetermined glide path and enables the
operators to direct the pilot in a safe approach to the
runway. The communication system provides two-way
communication with aircraft on twenty-one (21) separate
channels, of which three (3) may be used
simultaneously.

TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION
Type of System: One "S" and "X" band radar
system.
Type of Transmission: Pulse transmission
Pulse Duration Range: 0.5 to 10 usec
Pulse Width: 0.5 usec
Pulse Recurrence Frequency: 2000 pps
Operating Power Requirements: 115v ac
Type of Indication: Visual
Range: 30 mi circular area
Altitude: Approx 4000 ft.

RELATION TO SIMILAR EQUIPMENT

The AN/MPN-3 is similar to the AN/MPN-1A except
that it has a single, rather than two radar sets for each
channel, improved mobility because of decreased
weight, fewer communication channels, reduced number
of operating personnel, more accessible construction
and less complex circuits to facilitate maintenance and
improved components to provide more stable
performance.

INSTALLATION CONSIDERATIONS
Siting: Ground mobile.

FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
Landing Control Set AN/MPN-11 is a self-contained,
mobile, ground-controlled approach (GCA) radar
equipment, used as an air-traffic control center for
precision landing of aircraft during periods of reduced

visibility. The AN/MPN-11 consists of a search radar set

used for initially locating aircraft flying within a 30-mile
radius of the set, a precision radar equipment preset to
track aircraft down a specific glidepath during the final
approach, and radio communications equipment to
provide

ITEM NAME: LANDING CONTROL SET

TYPE: AN/MPN-11A, AN/MPN-11B, AN/MPN-11C, AN/MPN-11D
essential two-way communication between the ground
and the aircraft. Special features incorporated in the
AN/MPN-11 are moving target indication (MTI), used
with either or both radar sets to eliminate or attenuate
return
echo
signals
from
stationary
targets;
instantaneous direction-finding equipment, used in
conjunction with the search radar set to locate aircraft in
radio communication with the control center; circular
polarization gratings on the precision antenna's, to
reduce the echoes from rain or snow without
comparable loss of echo signals from the aircraft; and
operator controlled tilt of the search antenna.
In
addition, all accessory equipment and power supplies
are provided to permit the search radar set to function
as a completely independent unit.
The 30-mile approach area must be under constant
surveillance so that approaching aircraft can be initially
located, identified, and directed into the final approach
position. To provide this 360-degree azimuth scan, the
power-drive antenna is mounted on a rotating base.
This antenna concentrates the radio-frequency energy
into a high, narrow radiation pattern, to consistently
return echoes strong enough for good presentation on
the search indicators.
The direction-finding equipment may use any one of
the high-frequency, very-high-frequency, or ultra-highfrequency communication channels to locate and
identify aircraft communicating with the radar set.
When the direction-finder set is switched on at the
search indicator panel, the radio-frequency carrier
radiated from the aircraft is used to generate a strobe of
light on the plan position indicator (PPI) oscilloscope to
indicate aircraft direction. When a high-frequency, veryhigh-frequency or ultra-high-frequency channel is
selected o. the communications control panel at a
control position, the direction finding set is automatically
tuned to the same frequency.
The precision radar equipment incorporates a single
X-band transmitter, pulsing alternately through separate
azimuth and elevation antennas, to track aircraft down
the glidepath during the final approach.
The consistent reliable range of the precision equipment
is approximately 10 nautical miles, slant range, for small
aircraft flying within an elevation angle of 6 degrees.
The electronically traced range marks, occurring at Inautical-mile intervals, are spaced logarithmically on the
plan-position indicator, so that the most critical first mile
of the visual display occupies a greater distance along
the indicator sweep than the less critical succeeding
miles. This has the effect of expanding that portion of
both displays representing the area in which the aircraft
actually contacts the runway.

RELATION TO SIMILAR EQUIPMENT

AN/CPN-4 and AN/MPN-11 models are all
interchangeable with each other. The difference in
AN/CPN-4 and AN/MPN-11 models is variation in body
styles, AN/CPN-4 has bolted trailer panels and
AN/MPN-11 has riveted panels.
Landing Control Set AN/MPN-11A has a selfcontained
primary
power
source,
and
uses
communications equipment as follows:
Transceiver 185-4 for hf, AN/ARC-3 for vhf, and
AN/ARC-27 for uhf operation.
The AN/MPN-11B has a self-contained primary
power source, and uses Communication Equipment
AN/ART-13 and AN/ARR-15 for hf, AN/ARC-3 for vhf,
and AN/ARC-27 for uhf operation.
The AN/MPN-11C uses an external Governmentfurnished engine-generator in place of the normally used
Engine Generator PU-211/G; a 7-1/2 ton electric Air
Conditioner HD-237/MPN-11C is used in place of the
Diesel Air Conditioner HD-78/G normally used by other
models; a Power Distribution Panel SB-503/MPN-11C is
used to control an external engine-generator and electric
air conditioner; a 28 volt rectifier power supply (Power
Supply PP-1383/MPN-1K) is furnished in place of MotorGenerator PU220/GPN, used by other models of the
AN/MPN-11; and the AN/MPN-11C does not require the
remote line drives, remote line driver power supplies, or
associated cabling.
The AN/MPN-11D is similar to the AN/MPN-11C
except that it incorporates AFC control of the S and X
band transmitter magnetrons as well as AGCA tie-in
provisions and does not include Interconnecting Group
AN/GPA-41. Subsequent to these circuit and equipment
changes, this item is still functionally interchangeable
with AN/MPN-11C.

The AN/MPN-14 is similar to the AN/MPN-16,
difference is in production models. TheAN/MPN-14 and
AN/MPN-16 are similar to the AN/MPN-13 and
AN/MPN-15, difference is the mobile RAPCON used
with the AN/MPN-14 and AN/MPN-16 but not with the
AN/MPN-13 and AN/MPN-15. The AN/MPN-14 is a
basic AN/MPN-13 with a mobile RAPCON added. Also,
to adapt it for use with the mobile RAPCON, the radar
set has been modified to remote search and precision
indicating functions, performance monitoring signals,
and communications control to the RAPCON van.

RELATION TO SIMILAR EQUIPMENT
The AN/MPN-16 is similar to the AN/MPN-1.1,
difference is in production models. The AN/MPN-16
and AN/MPN-14 are similar to the AN/MPN-15 and
AN/MPN-13, difference is the mobile RAPCON used
with the AN/MPN-16 and AN/MPN-14, but not with the
AN/MPN-15 and AN/MPN-13. The AN/MPN-16 is a
basic AN/MPN-15 with a mobile RAPCON added. Also,
to adopt it for use with the mobile RAPCON, the Radar
Set has been modified to remote search and precision
indicating functions, performance monitoring signals,
and communications control to the RAPCON van.
Additional uhf radio sets have been installed, new
telephone facilities have been provided, and two-way
intercon stations have been added to facilitate
maintenance of the equipment. The AN/MPN-15 is a
basic AN/MPN-11C or AN/MPN-11D, difference is an
improved model incorporating recent changes such as
extended range coverage, additional search cursors;
improved receiver design, and monitoring of the power
output, relative tuning, and noise figure characteristics.

Radar Set AN/MPQ-29 employs an integrated group

of components on a single, highly mobile trailer mount.
The system is designed to track and plot the course of
an airborne target within a range of 92 km. In automatictracking mode, the radar supplies data to a computer
and two plotting boards. Servo-operated pencils on the
boards plot the course of the target. The system may be
employed in conventional radar (skin) tracking
operation, or it may be used in conjunction with a
beacon transponder placed in the target for beacon
tracking. An optical target selector is supplied for
auxiliary observation and selection of targets by a
remote operator.

reflector to direct its pulsed R-F output. The antenna
can rotate continuously in the horizontal plane, and nod
in the vertical plane through two arcs of different
magnitude. Although it is normally transported in four
type M-35 trucks, the lightweight aluminum construction
of the AN/MPS-16 permits it to be airlifted in two type C119 aircraft or six type H-21B helicopters. Radar Set
AN/MPS-16 consists of serial numbers 1 through 20;
Radar Set AN/MPS-16A consists of serial numbers 21
through 43, 55 through 75; and Radar Set AN/MPS-16B

mobile, air-transportable radar facility used to score the
accuracy of simulated air to-surface bombing missions.
The central is comprised of three trailers known as the

operations, maintenance, and acquisition antenna

trailers. Control of the central is accomplished in the
operations trailer which contains the tracking radar,
ballistic and tracking computers, plotting boards,
acquisition radar components, and communications
equipment.

ITEM NAME: RADAR BOMB SCORING CENTRAL

TYPE: AN/MSQ-35
Primary power equipment required for operation of the
central is not supplied.
The purpose of the Central is to acquire and track a
designated aircraft, permanently record it's flight path, and
compute the trajectory of a simulated bomb it releases. In
addition to providing a continuous plot of aircraft position in
the horizontal and vertical planes, weapon trajectory is
computed and plotted in the same coordinates. Score data of
the mission is computed and the results pointed out on tape.
Level, pull-up and other maneuvering type releases may be
scored with the central.
The central is divided into three major functional groups:
an acquisition radar group of initially locating the aircraft
engaged in the bombing mission; a tracking radar group for
tracking the aircraft during the bombing run and supplying
position data to the computers; and a computer group for
converting aircraft position data and ballistic data into
coordinate form suitable for plotting aircraft path and weapon
trajectory.
In addition, the computer group predicts
accelerations that would normally cause tracking lags and
supplies aided tracking rates to the radar. Complementary to
the three major groups is the communications group for
ground-to-aircraft voice communication during the bombing
mission.
Four computer modes of operation are used during a
bomb scoring mission. These modes are designated as
acquire, synchronizing (sync), track, and computer. A fifth
mode (the test mode) provides a complete check of the
computer.
RELATION TO SIMILAR EQUIPMENT
The AN/MSQ-35 is not interchangeable with any like item
in Air Force use. The M-33 radar was utilized as a basic
building block. The modified M-33 was identified Radar Bomb
Scoring Central AN/MSQ-35. Techniques established during
AN/USQ-9 development program were utilized in the
AN/MSQ-35 production program.

INSTALLATION CONSIDERATIONS
Siting: The general area at which the central is to be located
should be relatively flat.
Radar Search should be
possible
for 6400 mils in azimuth, and obstructions
such as tall
buildings, towers, and land masses should
be avoided.
The operations trailer must be located 100
to 225 feet
from the acquisition radar group.
Mounting: The equipment is self-contained in the trailer.
Cabling Requirements: Primary power cables may be run
through conduits (wood, preformed concrete, or tile);
however, covered raceways are preferred in a semipermanent installation. When vehicular traffic cannot be
avoided, provisions for crossing, without damage to the
cables, must be provided.
Related Equipment: Interrogation Set AN/ TPX-27 and Motor
Generator MD-4.

FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
Radome Group AN/TPA-1 (XN-1) is used to house
Radar Set AN/TPS-1 series. It provides a shelter for the
equipment under

almost any environmental condition from the tropics to

the polar regions and can be erected in winds up to 30
mph on practically any surface.

assemblies to the top of the Radome Base.

RELATION TO SIMILAR EQUIPMENT None.

TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION
The Radome Group AN/TPA-1 consists of two major
components:
(a) Rigid Radome CW-453(XN-1)/TPA-1 is a
spherical glass-fiber-plastic laminate structure
measuring 21 feet in diameter. It is truncated at
the 18 foot latitude to mount on the Radome
base or a suitable flat surface.
(b) Radome Base MX-2328(XN-1)TPA-1 is made
up of five types of corrugated aluminum panels
arranged in two rows or tiers of ten panels each,
forming a cylinder 18 feet in diameter and 12
feet high. A 3 x 5 foot door, nine air-intake
louvers and four windows are provided in the
lower tier, the upper tier having four windows.
(c) The Radome can be used separately from the
base, mounted on any flat surface more than 19
feet in diameter. Provisions must be made for
60 equally spaced 1/2-13 x 1-1/2 in. long bolts
on an 8 ft 11-3/8 in. radius of bolt circle.
(d) When Radome is used with the Radome Base it
is in addition to mounting bolts held in place with
five ground anchors attached with guy-rope

(e) The only power requirement for the radome

group is the power consumed by the 110v, 60
cps, 1 hp motor for the exhaust system. Since
the radome group is used for housing radar
equipment, the number of operators required
and total power consumed is entirely dependent
on the radar equipment itself.
(f) The radome and its base can be erected in wind
conditions up to 30 mph.
(g) When fully erected, this unit will withstand a
constant wind force of 125 mph, with gusts up to
140 mph.
(h) The gaskets used for assembly will remain
flexible through a temperature range of 40 deg
C (-40 deg F) to 73.9 deg C (165 deg F).
(i) The exhaust system limits the inside air
temperature to a maximum of 51.7 deg C (125
deg F), with an ambient temperature of 110 deg
F outside and internal equipment rendering 3.5
kw.
(j) The expected life of the radome and base is ten
years minimum.

FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
Radar Set AN/TPN-12 is a light-weight,
transportable, ground-controlled-approach (GCA) Radar
Set which can function as a surveillance or precision
approach radar. This equipment can be used as the
sole

augmentation to existing precision approach radar for
alternate runway coverage. For aircraft tracking during
the initial approach to the airfield, the radar set is
operated in the surveillance mode; the Radar Set is then
switched to the precision

approach made when the aircraft makes the final

approach to the runway. Since only one mode of
operation is possible at a time, this equipment is suitable
only for airfields having low traffic density. The antenna
equipment and transmitting and receiving components
are housed in a weatherproof shelter, and can be
installed on either side of the used runway. The entire
antenna assembly can be rotated to provide reciprocal
and multiple runway coverage without the requirements
of a Radar Set Turntable. The indicator and remote
control components are normally installed in the airfield
control tower, which can be a maximum cable length of
10,000 feet from the transmitting and receiving
equipment. A single indicator functions as a plan
position indicator (PPI) during surveillance operation,
and provides a time-shared dual beta scan to present
azimuth and elevation information during precision
approach operation. Glide path, center line, azimuth
antenna tilt, and elevation antenna tilt cursors are
electrically generated by a computer in the Indicator
Group. Four radar target simulators are furnished and
are to be erected near the end of the runway to aid in
alignment of the indicator. Circular polarizers can be
switched into the antenna equipment to reduce the
signals returned from rain and clouds. Sensitivity time
control (STC) and fast time control (FTC) circuits are
included in the receiver to reduce ground clutter on the
indicator. Telephones are furnished with the Indicator
and Transmitter Groups for maintenance applications.
RELATION TO SIMILAR EQUIPMENT
The AN/TPN-12 is replaced by Quad Radar P/N
GCA-M-MK-IV, which is a more reliable Radar Set. The
AN/TPN-12A is similar to AN/TPN-12, the difference
being that a pedestal heater has been added to prevent
condensation, when the equipment is turned off.

Waveguide Pressure: 18 to 22 psi
Polarization: Linear or circular
Power Requirements: 120v, ac, 50 to 60
cps, single ph, 12 kva
INSTALLATION CONSIDERATIONS
Siting: The field unit is located in a cleared area,
adjacent to the runway to be used. The indicator
and remote control components are normally
installed in the control tower. Also, any other Xband equipment operation on the same band in the
immediate vicinity will cause interference.
Mounting: Concrete foundation or directly on the
Ground Indicator Group: Floor-mounted.
Cabling Requirements: The length of the transmitter
power cable is 35 feet, while that of the indicator is
8-1/2 feet and hence, these units must be located
within these distances from an external power
source outlet. Also, the cable to connect the
indicator with the field unit remotely is 500 feet long.
Greater than 500 ft cable must be obtained through
supply channels.

FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
Radar Set AN/TPS-21 is lightweight, portable
battlefield surveillance equipment that will search for
and detect moving ground targets. The range of the
radar set is 100 to 20,000 yds. A characteristic audio

signal with a frequency variation dependent upon the

speed and direction of the moving target is the 'ontarget' indication. It is capable of an automatic search
or 'sector scan' function in which a terrain area, with a
depth of 880 yds and a width variable from 30 to 140
degrees or a continuous 360 degrees, is scanned for

FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
Radar Set AN/TPS-44 is a lightweight, air-transportable,
search radar whose parameters have been selected so it
will function in an optimum manner as the data:
collection element of a TAC Forward Air Com-

mand Post (FACP). The radar is transportable by C-130

aircraft and by helicopter, and can be transported by
truck or two-wheeled dollies over rough terrain. The
radar is housed in one S141-type shelter, with the
auxiliary equipment packaged for transport on a pallet.

TYPE: AN/TPS-44
and lightweight construction are used to minimize the
size and the weight.
The AN/TPS-4,1 is designed to work with a separate
operations room; and, as such, the radar trigger, radar
video, rotation data, and IFF signals are all available for
remoting over 300-feet of cable. In addition, remote
control of certain radar functions are provided by means
of a remote control panel located in the operations
room. This panel will control the several IF gain levels
and will control the insertion of selected receiver
circuits.
RELATION TO SIMILAR EQUIPMENT
The AN/TPS-44 is based upon the development of
lightweight radar techniques which occurred first in the
AN/UPS-I (an unsheltered surveillance radar) and later
in the AN/TPS-35 (a sheltered version, with remoteing
facilities). The development history of these radars
extends over the past five years. While the AN/TPS-4.
retains the successful features of both these radars, it is
an improved radar set which will provide increased radar
coverage in both range and altitude on a one-square
meter target. The AN/TPS-44 has been designed to suit
the particular requirements for a TAC FACP radar, as
such it has a remoting capability and remote control
facilities for the FACP Operations Central; it has a
modern solid-state IFF Interrogator Set offering
increased reliability and performance; and it has a new,
higher gain antenna which will fill in and extend the
coverage over that of both the AN/UPS-1 and the
AN/TPS-35 radar sets.

cargo aircraft or helicopter and truck, and capable of
being set-up in two hours.

FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
Indicator Group AN/UPA-35 is a universal plan
position indicator. The indicator provides a visual
display of azimuth, range, and height data (both
absolute and relative)of targets detected by search and
height-finding radar sets. The indicator may be used to
display continuous signals from a radar direction finding
set. It may be used also to display range and azimuth
between any two targets within a range of 10 to 250naut
mi. Ease of operation of theAN/UPA-35is aided by the
ability of the indicator to retain information. Where
more than one AN/UPA-35 is used with one heightfinding radar antenna, indicators may control the single
antenna at preset intervals.
Radar information displayed by the AN/UPA-35
permits control and direction of military aircraft from a
ground station.

FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
Antenna Assembly AS-295/UP, AS-295A/UP and AS295B/UP are designed for high-power transmission or
reception of vertically polarized waves. The antenna is
divided into four sections. The sections consist of

24 full-wave probe-fed radiators and reflectors and a

feeder system. Besides the antenna itself, the antenna
assembly includes an RF filter and three mounting
boxes. The antenna is a center-fed array with equal
p1ath lengths to boxed-in slot antennas. Slot antennas
are probe excited.

TYPE: AS-295/UP, AS-295A/UP, AS-295B/UP
AS-295A/UP - 950 to 1150 mc
AS-295B/UP - 1010 to 1110 mc
Peak Power Output: 10 kw
Duty Cycle: 0.0025
Wind Loading: 740 lb at 90 mph
Temperature Ratings: The antenna will operate
over the temp) range of -50 deg F to plus 450
deg F
Polarization: Vertical
Radiation Pattern:
Vertical - Sensitivity decreases as the angle of
elevation increases to 90 deg. Above 90 deg
sensitivity drops sharply.
Horizontal - 4 deg (max) at half power points.
Standing Wave Ratio:
3.5 db with 50 ohm
transmission line reference. SWR is less than
1.5 over the useful frequency range.

The antenna has a fan-shaped beam pattern which has

a high degree of horizontal directivity. The width of the
slot in each radiating element Is the height of the
aperture. Each feeder system has a flat aluminum
center conductor. The conductor is suspended between
two ground planes b) solid dielectric insulators. The
feeder line is undercut at support positions. The
undercutting allows line impedances to remain constant
through the support area. The characteristic impedance
of each section is determined by the width of the section
required for constant s[pacing between plates.
RELATION TO SIMILAR EQUIPMENT
AS-295/UP, AS-295A/UP and AS-295B/'P have
minor differences in their feeder systems. The three
antenna assemblies are interchangeable, but the feeder
system of the replacement antenna must be modified to
duplicate the feeder system of the antenna being
removed. AS-295/UP, AS-295A'lP and AS-295B/UP are
similar to Antenna Assembly AT-309 and AT-309A.

INSTALLATION CONSIDERATIONS
Sitting: Dependent on location of associated radar.
Mounting: Designed for mounting on an existing
radar antenna provide suitable brackets and
fixtures are available.

The 0-30/CPN eliminates undesiragle interaction
between radars, radar beacons, and shipborne IFF
equipments by applying output pulses to suitable circuits
in the equipments whose radiation is to be killed. It is

actuated by the video pulses which occur either before

or concurrent with rf transmission from radar or
interrogator equipment. These output pulses prevent
any transmission or radiation from the equipment
affected, for the duration of the Suppression Generator
pulse.

targets as determined by the RSI operator. The RSI
operator cannot send information pertaining to these
targets unless requested to do so by the PPI op)erator
using the RSRU. When a request has been made, the
RSI operator manually inserts information pertaining to
these targets by operating switches on the front panel of
the RSI. This information is transmitted to the RSRU
and appears on the front panel of the RSRU by means
of dial displays. The RSI receives trigger and video
inputs from the AN/FPS-6A and displays this video
information on a CRT.

FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
The Multiplexer is a link in the transmission of
data from both long rage radar and gap-filler radar sites
to the SAGE System Central Computer.
The
Multiplexer receives any combination of inputs, up to
six, from the AN/FST-1 or AN/FPS-l, and -1i Gap Fillers.

The gap filler outputs are interleaved with the output of

a long-range radar site.
The information is then
transmitted over a single pair of telephone wires.
Signals from the AN/FST-2 control the reading out and
transmission of the store information.

FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
The AN/APA-57 is airborne equipment used to
indicate the displacement in naut mi of the aircraft from
an initial ground position in terms of N-S and E-W
coordinates. From true air speed, heading and wind,
and information supplied to various units of the
equipment, the AN/APA-57 derives direct indication of

the relative position of the aircraft from an initial ground

reference. The resultant N-S and E-W coordinates are
converted into corresponding variable dc voltages which
are used to stabilize the PPI presentation of radar
indicating systems, including Indicator Assembly
AN/APA56 or Indicator Group AN/APA-81.
The AN/APA-57 also supplies ground displacement

AN/APN-22
FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
The AN/APN-22 is a microwave altimeter that is
designed to measure the terrain clearance of an aircraft
without the necessity of adding antennas or other
equipment external to the surface of the aircraft.
The drop-out altitude (the altitude at which the signal
becomes too weak to operate the system) is above
10,000 feet when flying over land and higher when flying
over water. The drop-out altitude is reduced in banks of
60 degrees or more and in climbs or dives of 70 degrees
or more. A reliability circuit disables the indicator and
shields the needle behind a mask to prevent the pilot
using the indication when the signal is too weak to
provide reliable operation. Provisions have been made
for completing a tie-in to automatic pilots or other
devices requiring selected altitude data.

FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
The AN/APN-42A Altimeter is a radar type altimeter that
computes and displays true absolute aircraft altitude
above terrain. The altimeter transmits a pulsed RF
signal toward the terrain below. The reflected signal is
received by the altimeter and a range computer

USMC

determines the true altitude from the time delay between

the transmitted and reflected echo signal. As a result of
the altitude computation, a range computer generates
altitude analog signals to drive a height indicator that
visually displays the computer altitude.

FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
Radar Set AN/APS-23A is an Airborne Radar System
which operates in the X-Band of the Frequency
Spectrum. It may be used as an independent search

radar but is primarily designed to operate in conjunction

with a computer, such as Ground Position Indicator
AN/APA-44A or equivalent, to give accurate navigation
and bombing information. Operates at 40 - 50,000 ft
altitude.

ranges from 0 to 200 mi or for depressed center
operation with ranges up to 50 mi. Hyperbolic for
presenting ground range with altitude correction.
Sweep Timing: Sweep delay operation permits
distant target areas to be presented near center of
indicator screen for ranges up to 200 mi.
Range: 0 to 20 mi, 5 mi intervals
20 to 50 mi, 10 mi intervals
50 to 80 mi, 20 mi intervals
80 to 200 mi, 50 mi intervals
Bearing: Target bearing shown by
360 deg Azimuth scale calibrated
in two deg intervals.

either at zero azimuth or compass
bearing.
INSTALLATION CONSIDERATIONS
The AN/APS-23A Radar Set is a major subsystem of
several Bombing Fire Control Systems which comprise the
offensive armament system of six different USAF Bomber
Type Aircraft. Therefore, installation consideration of the
AN/APS-23A would be peculiar to its various uses.
Mounting: The AN/APS-23A Radar Set is composed
of forty major components which require thirteen different
mounts, both surface and bulkhead type. All surface
mounts are constructed with shock absorbers.

The AN/APS-23A Radar Set is not interchangeable

with other set(s). Six components of the AN/APS-23A
and their mountings are used in the Radar Set AN/APS64.

RELATION TO SIMILAR EQUIPMENT

The AN/APS-45 and AN/APS-45A is designed

primarily for height-finding operation, when used in
conjunction with early-warning search radar and combat
information center (CIC) indicating equipment. Search
operation is a secondary function of this radar set. The
AN/APS-45 and AN/APS-45A is a complete height
finding radar system that operates independently of
other radar equipments in the aircraft, and is designed
to be controlled locally; however, certain height-finding
functions may be controlled remotely for associated
display equipment such as Indicator Assembly AN/APA56.

The AN/APS-45 and AN/APS-45A are identical

Radar Sets except for major equipments supplied.

FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
RELATION TO SIMILAR EQUIPMENT
The AN/APX-1 is a receiver-transmitter used to
automatically identify the craft in which it is installed by
response to received coded impulses.
A sweptfrequency characteristic permits it to receive
interrogations and transmit replies to a number of
interrogators, on different frequencies, over a wide
band. It can reply by predetermined coded pulses or
distress signal, or with modification to act as a sound
guide to "home" other craft. It can share time between
two band ranges, one as interrogation reply and the
other for special fighter director purposes. It is used in
conjunction with MK III IFF basic element I-Interrogator
and basic element III-Responder, or with other basic
element II-Transponder equipment.

Some major units of AN/APX-1, AN/APX-1X,

and AN/APX-2 are identical and interchangeable.

FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
on the same screen with echo location of other craft.
This equipment combines all three basic elements
of an IFF system within a common housing: (1) It
enables an aircraft to identify itself as friendly, or show
distress, when challenged by other craft or ground
forces; (2) it is able to challenge other craft for
identification; and (3) it receives replies from those
equipped with AN/APX-3 or other IFF Mark III
Transponder equipment. Four methods of operation are
possible: (1) Automatic operation of one band alone, or
two or three bands concurrently on a time sharing basis,
(2) interrogator-responder alone, (3) continuous
"Rooster" transponder operation alone or "Rooster"
transponder suppression on each interrogation and
receptive period, and (4) transponder operation emitting
distress pulses, or emergency pulses sharing normal
operation of one or two other bands. Coupled with other
radar equipment, the AN/APX-2 permits visual
identification
or
response

FUNCTIONAL DESCRIP-ON

and airborne radars.

The primary purpose of Radar Set AN/APX-6 is to

enable the airplane in which it is installed, to identify
itself automatically as friendly whenever it is properly
challenged by suitable equipped friendly surface

Two supplementary purposes of the equipment are:

Two provide two separate channels for the identification
of specific friendly airplanes among many friendly
planes, and to provide means for transmitting a special
reply referred to as "emergency".

FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
Magnetic Detecting Set AN/ASQ-10 is designed to
detect submarines from low-flying aircraft.
The
presence of a submarine is indicated by deflections of
the inked trace on a paper chart. The AN/ASQ-10
determines the presence of a submarine by measuring
the change produced in the earth's magnetic field. The
change in the earth's magnetic field is measured by
means of a saturable core magnetometer.
The
magnetometer element, when held parallel to the earth's
magnetic field, produces a signal when any change in
this field occurs. When a signal is produced, the signal
is amplified and presented as a deflection on Magnetic
Distortion Recorder RO-32/ASQ.

The AN/ASQ-10 is similar in function to the AN/AS-8.

FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
Range-Azimuth Indicators AN/SPA-4, -4A, and -4B
provide PPI type presentations of target range and
azimuth when supplied with video and trigger signals
from any one of eight search radars. Azimuth is
determined by means of a mechanical cursor. The
target presentation is the result of two alternately
generated electronic sweeps -- the PPI sweep and the
cursor sweep. The PPI sweep is rotated through 360
degrees on the screen in synchronism with the
associated radar antenna, and the cursor sweep traces a
single, controlled radius. A spot-of-light range strobe
appears on the screen during the cursor sweep and can
be superimposed on any target in the PPI display, thus
permitting a highly accurate measurement of the target
range. Field changes to the AN/SPA-4 and AN/SPA-4A
provide an indication of true bearing which is
incorporated in the design of the AN/SPA-4B.

the regular range strobe control. Another feature is that
a switch can be set to present the range rings either in
the usual position on the video display sweep, on the
cursor where they appear as range markers, or in both
places simultaneously.
It has provisions, when used with the AN/SRR-4 or
AN/WRR-1 equipment as an AEW tracking indicator, to
place either the AEW aircraft or its own ship at the origin
of the electronic cursor so that the operator can read
directly the range and bearing of targets from either the
AEW aircraft or his own ship.

FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
Indicator Group AN/SPA-25 is a plan position radar
indicator that is used as a repeater for search radars
having maximum ranges of 300 miles or less. The
indicator is transistorized except for one stage, the

sweep driver tubes. The use of transistors in place of

electron tubes allows a reduction in unit size, simpler
circuitry, and increased reliability.
Detected radar targets are illuminated on the CRT
for measurement of range and azimuth. Range is
measured by range marks and

TYPE: AN/SPA-25
a range strobe. Range marks appear on the cathoderay tube as concentric rings spaced at intervals that
represent distance from the radar antenna. The range
strobe appears as an expanding concentric ring whose
expansion is mechanically controlled by the operator.
When the range strobe ring passes through a target, the
target range is shown on a range-window on the front
panel. The range of a target at a distance of 28 miles or
less is expressed in yards in the range yards window.
The range of a target beyond 28 miles is expressed in
miles in a rangemiles window.
Bearing is measured by an electronic bearing
cursor. The cursor appears as a sweep whose azimuth
is mechanically controlled by the operator. When the
bearing cursor is activated, normal video is blanked
from the presentation. The cursor crank control is then
hand-operated to make the cursor pass through the
target on the indication CRT.
The bearing thus
determined is shown on the cursor bearing window. The
electronic
cursor
provides

FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
Indicator Group AN/SPA-25(XN-1) is a plan position
radar indicator that is intended for use as a repeater for
search radars having maximum ranges of 300 miles or
less. The PPI information is displayed on a 10-inch

cathode ray tube. The indicator is transistorized except

for one stage, the sweep drive tubes. The use of
transistors in place of electron tubes provides a smaller
overall size of the unit, simplicity of circuits and
increased reliability of operation.

FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
Indicator Group AN/SPA-51 is a general purpose
plan position indicator intended for shipboard use. It is
adaptable to a variety of radar equipments. A front
panel function control switch permits it to be used as an

ordinary PPI, as an AEW tracking indicator, or as an

AEW repeat (final) indicator. In addition, when used as
an ordinary PPI, the indicator group has as special
features the ability to accept azimuth information in the
form of two rectangular coordinate voltages instead of

synchro voltages and the ability to display AN/SPS-32
radar video and IFF target responses. The mode of
operation of the indicator group is chosen by a RADAR
SELECTOR switch mounted on the front panel.

INSTALLATION CONSIDERATIONS

RELATION TO SIMILAR EQUIPMENT

Indicator Group AN/SPA-51 is essentially the same
as Indicator Group AN/SPA-33 except that AN/SPS-32
radar video (and IFF target responses) can also be
displayed by selecting positions 4 or 10 of the RADAR
SELECTOR switch.
Other differences are:
an
extension of range from 300 to 400 miles, deletion of
external cursor bearing information transfer, elimination
of the range and bearing buzzer, and the display of
AN/SPS-26 radar in positions 2, 3, or 9 of the RADAR
SELECTOR switch.

records of the student1s proficiency in
tracking targets. Separate records are made
for errors in range, bearing and elevation.
Range: Measures errors up to plus or minus 500 yds
and records these on a moving paper strip.
Errors in excess of plus or minus 800 yds
cause max deflection of the error meter in the
proper direction to indicate whether radar
range is greater or less than actual target
range.

which permits the instructor to see all targets
simultaneously and to designate one to the
student operators.
Control Data: Gain controls for all targets; spotting
controls in range; bearing, and elevation for
shells; identification switches to permit
identifying any particular target on the PPI
scope. Tally lights notify which target is being
jammed and nature of jamming.

NOTES
1. This chart was formerly titled SUMMARY OF 3OINT NOMENCLATURE SYSTEM ("AN" SYSTEM) FOR
COMMUNICATION-ELECTRONIC EQUIPMENT.
2. The system indicator "AN" does not mean that the Army, Navy, and Air Force use the equipment but simply
that the type number was assigned in the JETDS System.
3. In the JETDS nomenclature system, nomenclature consists of a name followed by a type number. The
type number will consist of indicator letters shown on this chart and an assigned number.
4. The type number of an independent major unit not part of or used with a specific set will consist of a
component indicator, a number, the slant and such of the set or equipment indicator letters as apply. Example:
SB-5/PT would be the type number of a portable telephone switchboard for independent use.
5. Requests for nomenclature assignments will be submitted on the Department of Defense Form DD-1 and
prepared in accordance with the item names and description patterns promulgated by the office of the Assistant
Secretary of Defense (Supply and Logistics).

MODIFICATION LETTERS
Component modification suffix letters will be assigned for each modification of a component when detail parts and
subassemblies used therein are no longer interchangeable, but the component itself is interchangeable physically,
electrically, and mechanically.

MODIFICATION LETTERS (cont' d)

Set modification letters will be assigned for each modification not affecting interchangeability of the sets or equipment
as a whole, except that in some special cases they will be assigned to indicate functional interchangeability and not
necessarily complete electrical and mechanical interchangeability. Modification letters will only be assigned if the
frequency coverage of the unmodified equipment is maintained.
The suffix letters X, Y, and Z will be used only to designate a set or equipment modified by changing the power input
voltage, phase or frequency. X will indicate the first change, Y the second, Z the third, XX the fourth etc., and these
letters will be in addition to other modification letters applicable. (For examples see MIL-STD-196B).

ADDITIONAL INDICATORS (cont'd)

Example. Radio Set AN/ARC-3( ) might be assigned for a new airborne radio communication set under development.
The cognizant development organization might then assign AN/ARC-3 (XA-1), AN/ARC-3(XA-2), etc., type numbers to
the various sets developed for test. When the set was considered satisfactory for use, the experimental indicator would
be dropped and procurement nomenclature AN/ARC-3 would be officially assigned thereto.
Training Sets. A set or equipment designed for training purposes will be assigned type numbers as follows:
1. A set to train for a specific basic set will be assigned the basic set type number followed by a dash, the
letter T, and a number. Example: Radio Training Set AN/ARC6A-T1 would be the first training set for Radio Set
AN/ARC-6A.
2. A set to train for general types of sets will be assigned the usual set indicator letters followed by a dash, the
letter T, and a number. Example: Radio Training Set AN/ARC-T1 would be the first training set for general airborne
radio communications sets.
Parenthesis Indicator. A nomenclature assignment with parenthesis, ( ) following the basic type number is made to
identify an article generally, when a need exists for a more general identification than that provided by nomenclature
assigned to specific designs of the article. Examples: AN/GRC-5( ), AM-6( )/GRC-5, SB-9( )/GG. A specific design is
identified by the plain basic type number, the basic type number with a suffix letter, or the basic type number with an
experimental symbol in parenthesis. Examples: AN/GRC-5, AN/GRC5A, AN/GRC-5(XC-1), AM-6B/GRC-5, SB-9(XE3)/GG. The letter V within the parenthesis is used to identify systems with varying parts list.

EXPLANATION OF THE NAVY TYPE DESIGNATION SYSTEM

Navy type designations are assigned to denote major units and also to most component parts likely to require
replacement during the normal life of the equipment involved. There are two systems of type designations the Numerical
System of Navy Type Designations, and the Alphabetical System of Navy Type Designations.
The Numerical System. In the numerical system the designation is composed of a Navy type number (e.g. 21426), a
group of prefix letters to indicate the manufacturer of the item (e.g. CZZ) and when necessary, a suffix letter. The prefix
letters and the Navy type number are separated by a dash to form the complete Navy type designation (e.g. CZZ-21426).
Once prefix letters are assigned to a manufacturer the same designating letters remain the permanent identification of
the company and shall precede the Navy type numbers of all mater1Al manufactured by him. Preliminary models of
major units are identified by a spec1Al description consisting of the Navy type number assigned for the corresponding
unit of the production equipment prefixed by the letter 'X" i.e, CRV-X52041. The numerical portion of the Navy type
designation is assigned in order of receipt of request, the last three of four numbers being the order, the first two being
the "class". The significance of the first two digits in each type number is shown in the table below.
The suffix letter is assigned to differentiate units of improved or different manufacture which are entirely
interchangeable as units but, due to difference in construction, are not necessarily interchangeable with respect to their
integral parts. The suffix letter is separated from the numerical portion by a dash. For example:
1. Navy Type -61046-A insulator is identical to 61046 except the glaze is changed from white to chocolate
color.
2. Navy Type -21426-A motor-generator set is identical to -21426 except that steel has replaced cast-iron
throughout.
The Alphabetical System. The alphabetical system, which is used for units pecul1Ar to radar equipments and
special apparatus, is analogous to the numerical system except the last three or four numbers of the numerical portion
are replaced with alphabetical letters starting with AAA and progressing alphabetically; such as, AAA, AAB, AAC --- AAZ,
ABA, ABB -- etc. Also, the suffix letter is replaced by a suffix number; the first modification being indicated by the
number "1", etc. A few examples of this system are CZZ-21AAA, CRV-46ABK, CRV-66ACY, CRV-66ACY-1, etc. The
fundamental principles governing the application of both systems of Navy type designations are the same.

EXPLANATION OF THE NAVY MODEL LETTER SYSTEM

Items in the Navy Model Letter System are designated by two or three basic letters - sometimes supplemented by
prefix or suffix letters and/or numerals.
Equipments identical in all respects and purchased from the same contractor bear the same model designation.
Additional equipment obtained for service use by additional purchase is designated by a numeral following the original
model letters. For example, on subsequent orders for the Model TAQ transmitting equipment, the equipment is identified
by the designations TAQ-1, TAQ-2, etc. Additionally, if after acceptance by the Navy Department, the Bureau of Ships
authorizes a modification of the equipment, a lower case alteration letter is assigned to follow the model letters. For
example, if a Model TAB-1 transmitter is modified after delivery by the addition of a harmonic suppressing circuit or unit,
the model designation would be changed to a TAB-1A. An additional modification of the TAB-la or a modification of the
TAB-1 differing from the "a" modification, would be indicated by "b" and the equipment designated known as TAB-lb.
Equipments of an experimental nature are assigned model letters beginning with "X" if manufactured by a Naval
organization (e.g., XA, XB, etc.), or with "CX" if manufactured by a commercial company (e.g., CXA, CXB, CXAA, CXAB,
etc.)
Preliminary models of equipments, subsequently to become the property of the Navy, as required by the terms of a
contract or similar authorization are given an "X" prefix letter, separated from the basic designation by a dash. The
preliminary (test) model of "Model TBU" was therefore designated 'Model X-TBU." The Navy Model Letter series is shown
in the following table.

FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
The AN/SPN-8 and AN/SPN-8A are carrier-controlled
approach systems used when visibility approaches zero.
The systems will guide aircraft from a position as far as
six miles away to a position as close as 200 feet from
touchdown on the aircraft carrier. PPI's display the
aircraft's position in relation to an ideal approach path.
The AN/SPN-8 and -8A include units to compensate or
correct for deviations from the roll, pitch, and yaw of the
carrier.
Eleven
radio
channels
and
ten
intercommunications channels are available. The radio
channels transmit instructions to, and receive responses
from, the pilot of the aircraft. The intercommunications
channels provide contact with other stations aboard the
carrier. The AN/ SPN-8 or -8A controllers direct the pilot
along an ideal approach path until the aircraft is visible
to the landing signal officer. If the pilot does not receive
directions from the landing signal officer at the 200-foot
minimum range, a wave-off is given by the final
controller.

Radar Set AN/SPS-4 is a medium power surface

and zenith search radar equipment which may be
operated at any frequency in the 5450 to 5825 mc
range. It has a special dual antenna which permits the
operator to observe targets either on and near the
surface of the water or approaching from overhead.
Targets are presented on the screens of a range
indicator and a range repeater as well as on other
repeaters in the system.
Both 1and 36-speed
information is required to operate the synchro signal
amplifier while the rest of the system requires only lspeed information.
RELATION TO SIMILAR EQUIPMENT
The AN/SPS-4 is similar to Navy Model SG-6b
except for changes in the antenna, the transmitter, and
the receiver to permit operation on lower frequencies
and at a higher power output.

FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
Radar Sets AN/SPS-5,-5A, and -5B are medium
power, lightweight, surface search equipments. These
equipments feature high power output, narrow pulse
width, thyratron keying, a low noise receiver with a
sensitivity time control and a fast time constant to clarify
target presentation, a large lightweight antenna reflector
that provides simultaneous surface search and modified
(low altitude) air search, and a regulated high voltage
power supply which maintains constant power input to
the magnetron oscillator.
In the AN/SPS-SA and -5B the antenna weight has
been further reduced by the replacement of Antenna
AS-511/SPS-5 with Antenna AS-651/SPS-5B.
There is no provision for elevation of the antenna
reflector in the AN/SPS-5A and -5B. The azimuth
synchro system of the AN/SPS-5 is normally a 2x
system while the synchro system of the AN/SPS-5A and
-5B is a 1x system.

FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
Radar Sets AN/SPS-6, -6A, -6B, and -6C are
shipboard, air and surface, search radar equipments that
supply target bearing and range data to PPI and Ascope indicators. These radars provide sweep trigger,
video voltage, and bearing data for as many as four
external PPI indicators of the VE, VJ, and VK or similar
types. They are designed for either local or remote
operation, and a dual feedhorn radiator on the antenna
propagates and receives both radar and IFF signals.
These radar sets are essentially similar, the major
difference being the antenna used with each model.

The AN/SSQ-14 provides roll and pitch signals to external
stabilized equipments, keeping them stabilized with respect to
a horizontal plane regardless of the ship's motion. The
pendulum unit, in conjunction with the two single degree of
freedom gyroscope units, provides a true horizontal reference
for the measurement of roll and pitch angle and operates the
servosystem which positions the roll and pitch gimbals with
respect to the horizon. All electrical circuits are controlled by
a single master control switch, which has three positions,
STAND-BY, OFF, and OPERATE. This switch should be in
either OPERATE or STAND-BY at all times when the vessel is
at sea or under any conditions where less than 20 minutes
notice is given before stabilization data is desired.

TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION
Decoder Group ANAJPA-24, when interconnected
with a radar recognition set, facilitates the interpretation
of coded IFF signals. The equipment selects a coded
video pulse-train in one of three modes from a
recognition set. The coded pulse-train is presented to
the decoder circuitry. If the pulse-train is correctly
coded, an indication in the form of a single decoded
pulse is available for presentation on a radar indicator.
If the pulse-train is not correctly coded, a decode pulse
is not available for presentation. The equipment also
permits the presentation of the coded or decoded
identification signal alone, the radar signal alone, or the
radar signal mixed with either the coded or decoded
identification signal.

FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
Decoder Group AN/UPA-24B processes coded IFF
signals and radar signals from external equipment, such
as Radar Recognition Set AN/UPX-1, and delivers a
single output for presentation on an external radar
indicator. The AN/UPA-24B produces this presentation

by selecting a coded video pulse-train, in one of three

modes, from the radar recognition set. This coded
pulse-train is presented to a decoder network. If the
pulse-train is correctly coded, an indication in the form
of a single "decode" pulse is available for presentation
on the radar indicator.

TYPE: AN/UPA-24B
If the pulse-train is not correctly coded, a decode pulse
is not available for presentation unless the bracket
decode capability is chosen.
Bracket decoding
produces a decode pulse from any properly timed pulsetrain, regardless of code content. The AN/UPA-24B also
permits the presentation of the coded or decoded IFF
signal alone, the radar signal alone, or the radar signal
mixed with either coded or decoded IFF signals. Data
on this Sheet reflects the following field changes: Fc 1
through 4 (AN/UPA-24).

of IFF displayed targets.
The decode functions of the decoder group are (1)
to check a target reply code for parity with a preset code
(passive decode); (2) to check the reply code for
bracket-pulse coincidence (bracket decode); and (3) to
translate the reply code, which is in a binary coded octal
form, into its equivalent decimal number (active
decode). As a result of these functions, output signals
are provided for display as the IFF target on an
associated radar indicator, and a decimal number is
read out on 1 amp indicating devices. The IFF target
display and the code readout are performed in
synchronism. A three channel device, the code readout
presents instantaneously the reply codes of three
discreate targets. In addition, a delayed code video
output is provided for display and, when interconnected,
the surveillance radar video is passed or mixed with IFF
video as an output. Selecting an IFF, radar, or mixed
output, establishing a preset code and an IFF mode of
operation, and enabling the interrogator challenge are
functions of operating controls located on the front panel
of the video decoder.
A sector gate generated by the decoder indicator
unit of the decoder group provides a means of selecting
and segregating targets for active readout. This gate is
applied externally to the video sweep of the associated
radar indicator and internally to the code translation
circuits. As displayed on a PPI type indicator the sector
gate is defined by azimuth radials and range arcs which
appear as brightened traces to form essentially a
rectangular shape on the screen. This defined area
represents in range and azimuth the time during which
target replies are enabled for active readout. The
placement of the sector gate is a function of the
associated radar indicator controls; the area delimited
by the gate is adjustable within limits by means of
azimuth and range controls on the video decoder unit.
The sector gate is also useable for delimiting target
challenge to the gated area.
RELATION TO SIMILAR EQUIPMENT
Decoder Group AN/UPA-49(XN-1) and Decoder
Group AN/UPA-50(XN-1) are functionally identical units.
They differ only in their application to particular system
complex and in minor circuit variations which are
necessary to make each group compatible with the
characteristics of associated equipment. The AN/UPA49 is used in the Navy Tactical Data System. A Video
Decoder KY-387(XN-1)UPA and a Power Supply PP3078(XN-1) are units common to both groups. A
Decoder-Indicator is the third unit in a group; the KY386(XN-1) /UPA-49 is used. Decoder Group AN/UPA49 is a replacement for the Decoder Group AN/ UPA-24.

The CXKA is a companion piece of equipment to be
used with RDO, AN/SPR-1, AN/ SPR-2 or similar type
radar intercept receivers. It operates from 40 to 3000
mc without any tuning controls. In essence, it samples

the pulses coming into an intercept receiver and rejects

all those pulses above a preset voltage level (friendly
radars), but allows the intercept receiver to pass all
those signals below this same level (enemy and weaker
friendly signals). Thus, since it will reject any radar

FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
The PU-155/SP, PU-155(XN-1)/SP, PU-155A/SP
and PU-155B/SP are electromechanical devices to
convert step-by-step position signals into corresponding
synchro signals. It is used as an intermediate unit
between a Dead Reckoning Analyzer which supplies

step-by-step position data and a radar repeater which

has a synchro-controlled provision for offsetting the
origin of a PPI display. The dead reckoning analyzer
supplies two step-by-step signals which represent
respectively the north-south and east-west components
of ships movement.

PU-155/SP: 1

15 December 1966

ITEM NAME: DIRECTION DATA CONVERTER

TYPE: PU-155/SP, PU-155(XN-1)/SP,
PU-155A/SP, PU-155B/SP
The Direction Data Converter translates these signals
into two synchro signals which represent the same
components. The synchro signals are used in the radar
repeater to offset the origin of the PPI display in the
north-south and east-west directions in proportion to the
ships movement indicated by the signals. In this manner
the display, when once centered on a given reference
point, remains centered on the same point regardless of
own ships movement.

TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION
Power Supply: 115v, 1-ph, 60 cps, 4 to
16 amps (depending on the number of
repeaters fed).
Input Signals: Two 115v dc, 4-wire stepby-step signals from Dead Reckoning
Analyzer; max power 26w. Total Dead
Reckoning Analyzer speed 750 rpm.
Outputs: Synchro excitation for radar repeaters, 115v, 60 cps, 1-ph. Two 90v
ac; 3-wire synchro signals to radar
repeaters; speed, 1 rpm.
Heat Dissipation
PU-155(XN-1)/SP: 125w, max
PU-155/SP, PU-155A/SP, PU-155B/SP: 88w

RELATION TO SIMILAR EQUIPMENT

The PU-155(XN-1)/SP and PU-155/SP have four sets
of gears. The PU-155A/SP and PU-155B/SP have three.
Intermediate gear ratios differ but the final results are the
same in terms of gear reduction ratio. With the PU-155(XN1)/SP and PU-155/U the direction of rotation of remotely driven
synchros is the opposite of that which the PU-15SA/SP and
the PU-155B/SP, but can be made the same by an
interchange of connections either at the step-motor or at the
synchro generator.

Radar Signal Distribution Switchboards SB-440/ SP,
SB-441/SP, and SB-442/SP distribute video and trigger
data to indicating equipments.
Each switchboard
accepts information from as many as seven radar and
four IFF sets. The differences between the SB-440/SP,
SB-441/SP, and SB-442/SP are in the number of mastercontrol switches and the corresponding number of
indicating equipments that can be handled. The number
of master control switches equals the number of
indicator equipments a switchboard can handle. The
SB-440/SP handles five indicating equipments; the SB441/SP handles seven indicating equipments; the SB442/SP handles ten indicating equipments. All master
control switches are identical.
Switchboard inputs
connect to rotary switch assemblies.
The switch
assemblies allow a single input to connect to any or all of
the available indicating equipments.

Radar Indicating Equipments VF, VF-a, and VF-1 are
repeaters used with any search radar equipment capable
of transmitting PPI information. Their purpose is to
repeat, at a remote point, accurate target information
appearing at any selected master radar. Provision is
made to transmit this information to other remote points.
Targets are presented on two CRT s, one of which is a
PPI used for search and coordination and the other, a Bscope used for accurate determination of range and
bearing. This information is of sufficient accuracy to be
used for fire control and torpedo direction. Operation of
the equipment requires that a master radar system and
gyro supply it with video and trigger signals, azimuth
data, and range indications. The VF-a is a VF modified
for operation from a 400-cycle power supply instead of
from a 60-cycle supply. The Model VF-1 is a later
reorder of the VF.

FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION

RELATION TO SIMILAR EQUIPMENT

Radar Indicating Equipment VG, VG1,and VG-2 are

used aboard ship to project the PPI pattern of associated
radar equipment upon a flat-top viewing screen of opal
glass or tracing paper. Tactical calculations can be
made directly upon the plot.
A range selector switch provides a 4-, 10-,20-, 80-, or
200-mile radius, with concentric range marks. The
equipment also projects two concentric dials (using an
O.S.C. dial projector), each marked with a 360-deg
calibration. The inner dial is fixed and is adjustable for
true or relative bearing; the outer dial rotates and
presents the ships heading.

Mfg(s) Name or Code Number: Radio Corporation of America

FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
The 55ADP and 50ACU make up a complete PPI
equipment that is used in conjunction with shipboard
Radar Equipment Models SA and SA-2.
The 55ADP consists of a PPI; the amplification,
deflection, and power circuits associated with the PPI; all
operating controls for the entire PPI equipment; and 4
video amplifiers that feed echo pulses to remote
indicators. Provisions are included for using the ships
60-cycle supply voltage instead of the gyro compass
voltage, to control the rotation of the indicator tube
sweep. When the ships 60cycle supply voltage is used,
the indications are oriented with respect to the ships
lubber line; when the gyro compass voltage is used,
indication orientations are with respect to true north.

The 50ACU controls the rotation speed and direction

of the servomotor so that it will follow the rotation of the
antenna and obtain either relative or true bearing
indications on the PPI of the 55ADP. When desired, the
50ACU will limit the exploration field of the system to a
90-degree sector. The 50ACU also includes a PPI
bearing repeater synchro generator through which
bearing indications may be transmitted to remote
positions, and supplies a voltage to the remote indicators
for energizing their pilot lights during relative bearing
operation.

SB-640(XN-1)/BP
FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
None.
The SB-640(XN-1)/BP is designed to switch radar
information from five radar sets to nine remote repeaters.
Switching is accomplished by use of identical switch and
amplifier assemblies, each assembly supplying
information to one repeater, and selection of radar
information is accomplished by remotely controlling the
position of the switch in each assembly.
Separate video amplifier, power supply, and trigger
regeneration circuits are provided for each repeater.
Consequently, failure of any assembly in the switchboard
affects only one repeater. One section of the frame is
specially wired to permit presentation of AN/BPS-4 radar
information on SS series radar indicator console in
addition to the normal SS/ST presentation. Provisions
are also included for the distribution of selected IFF from
three radar sets.
The SB-640(XN-1)/BP is intended for radar repeater
system on submarine installations.

Siting: As a general rule, locate the IFF coordinator-range indicator, master PPI indicator, and Radar Set Control C-882/SPS in CIC
room; Receiver-Transmitter RT-217/SPS in
a compartment near the mast; Antenna Control C-491B/SPS-6, gyro-compass synchro
amplifier, and synchro capacitor unit near
RT-217/SPS, so they can be observed by the
operator. Allow space for servicing equipment. Follow installation drawings of NAVSHIPS 900989.1(A) for slide-out chassis
clearances and ventilation requirements.
Mounting: Mounting holes are drilled at dimensions shown in the outline drawings of NAVSHIPS 900989.1(A).
Cabling Requirements: Most coaxial lines go
directly to terminal boards. Keep solid coaxial cables away from steam pipes, hot-air
intakes and stack gases. Do not run cables
through battery charging compartments, galleys, uptake spaces or machinery spaces.

and a delayed range voltage which automatically delays
the range sweep of the VL-1 without using the manually
operated delay control on the VL-1. The automatic delay
feature of the indicator correlator causes the range line
marker to remain centered on a 20-mile sweep (10 miles
from the left-hand edge of the VL-1 display, regardless of
the VL-1 range switch setting used). The automatic
delay may be switched in and out by a RANGE DELAY
switch, located on the associated Indicator Control C2456/SP. As long as automatic delay operation is
switched in, the RANGE DELAY control on the VL-1
remains ineffective.

INSTALLATION CONSIDERATIONS
Siting: Transmitter-receiver unit is waterproof
and may be installed without shelter. All
other units require shelter. Layouts vary
with type of craft. Standard layouts are available at most Navy installation bases and at
BuShips.
Mounting: Supports along with h o u s i n g s are
shown on the Navy Yard plans.
Cabling Requirements: Standard Navy armored
cable is used for all i n t e r u n i t connections
except the pulse cable. Cables are run according to standard Navy wiring practices.
Extra cabling is left at terminal connections
to permit units to be removed without disconnecting and to permit repair of cable ends.

This fine document...

Was brought to you by me:

Liberated Manuals -- free army and government manuals

Why do I do it? I am tired of sleazy CD-ROM sellers, who take publicly
available information, slap watermarks and other junk on it, and sell it.
Those masters of search engine manipulation make sure that their sites that
sell free information, come up first in search engines. They did not create it...
They did not even scan it... Why should they get your money? Why are not
letting you give those free manuals to your friends?
I am setting this document FREE. This document was made by the US
Government and is NOT protected by Copyright. Feel free to share,
republish, sell and so on.
I am not asking you for donations, fees or handouts. If you can, please
provide a link to liberatedmanuals.com, so that free manuals come up first in
search engines:
