In August 2013, Lockheed revealed an improvement of the Stalker XE with an endurance of 13 hours. The previous version used a 2.2 liter liquid propane tank, while the new version used a 3.2 liter tank. Both versions used the same fuel cell. Stalker UAVs were used by Army and Marine Special Forces in Afghanistan to detect improvised explosive ...
The AN/SPG-62 is a continuous wave fire-control radar developed by the United States, and it is currently deployed on warships equipped with the Aegis Combat System. [1] It provides terminal target illumination for the semi-active SM-2MR/ER and ESSM Block 1 surface-to-air missiles.
The Type 904 radar tracker was also developed as a derivative of the GWS.22 Seacat air defense missile system. [4] In addition, the Mk.64 GUNAR, which changed the shooting command radar to the gun side equipment (initially the same AN/SPG-34 as the Mk.63, later AN/SPG-48), was also developed, and this was mainly used by the Royal Canadian Navy.
In 1944, the US Army contracted [7] for an electronic "computer with guns, a tracking radar, plotting boards and communications equipment" (M33C & M33D models used different subassemblies for 90 & 120 mm gun/ammunition ballistics.) [3] The "trial model predecessor" (T-33) was used as late as 1953, [8] and the production M33 (each $383,000 in 1954 dollars) [9] had been deployed in 1950. [10]
However, unlike Mk.63, the fire-control radar was installed on the directional board rather than on the gun side. [6] Of AN/SPG-34, Mk.63 adopted mod.1 and mod.2 while Mk.57 adopted mod.3 and mod.4. [4] Later, based on the Mk.63, the Mk.70 was also developed as a derivative of the Ku-band AN/SPG-52 range-finding radar. [1]
The APG-71 was a 1980s upgrade of the AWG-9 for use on the F-14D Tomcat.It incorporates technology and common modules developed for the APG-70 radar used in the F-15E Strike Eagle, providing significant improvements in (digital) processing speed, mode flexibility, clutter rejection, and detection range.
Aero-13 Fire Control System. The Aero 13 FCR designed for Douglas F4D Skyray is the origin of AN/APQ-120, and it established the configuration of the airborne FCR not only for the radar families of AN/APQ-120, but also a standard for all other airborne radars to follow: Aero 13 FCR was designed as an integrated cylindrical module that could be plugged into the nose of an aircraft, instead of a ...
