AN/TPS-59 (V)3
Figure 1: AN/TPS-59
The TPS-59 is an all solid-state L-Band, three-dimensional air defense radar which provides long-range surveillance and ground-control intercept capability in a tactically mobile environment.
Developed for the United States Ballistic Missile Defense Organization (BMDO) and the United States Marine Corps, the TPS-59 (V)3 is designed to operate with HAWK and Patriot. When integrated with HAWK, the TPS-59 (V)3/HAWK system is the most cost effective TMD system currently in production with successfully validated performance against ballistic missiles as well as air breathing threats. The radar has been designed to be rapidly transported by truck, helicopter, or C-130 cargo plane.
The TPS-59 radar's 740 km range and full 360° azimuth scan results in a surveillance volume of 603 million km³ for tactical missile defense.
