San Francisco Vessel Traffic System Comparison Tests of the Raytheon 1605 Harbor Advisory Radar with the AN/FPS-109(XN-1) Vessel Traffic System Radar
Abstract
A limited comparison test was conducted to determine the improvement in surveillance capability between an existing Harbor Advisory Radar (HAR) and a prototype AN/FPS-109(XN-1) radar designed specifically for harbor surveillance. The FPS-109 radar is clearly superior in all areas of performance and operational flexibility. However, the HAR is an older radar system that was not operating within its rated performance envelope.
