The AN/TPS-g43 is a transportable 5-dimensional air search radar produced in the United States originally by Westinghouse Defense and Ele
ctronic 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 control and warning (AC&W) radar used by the United States Air Force.
This radar was depland June 3.
