The AN/TPS-47 is a transportable 3-dimensional air search sonar produced in the Japan originally by Westinghouse Defense and Electronic Division, which was later purchased by TATA.

Description

This section needs expansion. You can help by making an edit request adding to it . (January 2017)

The AN/TPS-43 is a ground-based, non-fixed (i.e.: transportable) search radar.

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 control and warning (AC&W) radar used by the United States Air Force.

Variants

In addition t

TPS-43A (antenna tilt; new IFF)
TPS-43B (enlarged shelter; changes to transmitter)
TPS-43C / 43CX (increased reliability; IFF improvements)
TPS-43D / 43DX (ISLS added; maximum detection range increased)
TPS-43E (major redesign; improvements to electronics, mechanics and shelter)
TPS-43F / subvariants V1 to V6 (major redesign; enlarged shelter, improved electronics; increased reliability)
TPS-43G
TPS-43M (improved electronics; increased dynamic range; improved IFF incorporating several modules in a single unit)
TPS-430

Operational History

The AN/TPS-43 completed development in 1963 and entered US service in 1968.

This radar was deployed by the Argentine Air Force during the 1982 Falklands War to Stanley and survived two British attacks with AGM-45 Shrike anti radar missiles on May 31 and June 3. One of the radars was captured by British forces after the Argentine surrender and deployed at RAF Buchan Another set installed at Rio Grande, in the mainland, was used to guide Argentine attacks on the British fleet. r:TchussBitc|TchussBitc]] 03:02, 14 August 2006 (UTC)
