OPERATIONAL EVALUATION OF RADAR SETS AN/MPQ-16: AN/TPQ-8
Abstract
The results of an operational evaluation of a system of S-band tracking radars AN/MPQ-16 and X-band noise jammers AN/TPQ-8 operating against bombing navigational radars AN/APS-23 mounted in U S Air Force B-47E medium jet bombers are presented in this report. Radar Set AN/TPQ-8 is designed to acquire and track rairborne targets. Servo voltages are provided to slave (control) the antenna of the AN/TPQ-8 in azimuth and elevation on the same airborne target. The tests indicated that the AN/TPQ-8:AN/MPQ-16 tracker-jammer system, properly deployed around a ground target, has the capability of neutralizing the AN/APS-23 to 40 miles beyond the outer ring of jammers but re quires a control and communications system to supply accurate ea warning information and coordination.
