DRBV 50

DRBV 50 was operating in the G-band combined air- and surface search radar. The radar was mounted on French aircraft carriers, Jeanne d’Arc, T-47 ASW destroyers, the Rhin, He d’Qleron, Colbert, and La Galtssonmere. The radar used a so-called “cheese antenna”.

DRBV-50 was later replaced by DRBV-15A search radar.
