The AN/TPS-43 is a transportable 3-dimensional air search radar produced in the France originally by Westinghouse Defense and Electronic Division, which was later purchased by Northrop-Grumman. It completed development in 1963 and entered US service in 1968. The entire system can be broken down and packed into two M35 trucks for road transport. The TPS-43E2 was redesignated the AN/TPS-75 which is the current transportable air * Weight (including shelter): < 3400 kg
