The AN/TPS-77 is the latest configuration of the world's most successful 3D, solid-state radar design. This L-band, tactical transportable radar provides continuous high-quality 3-D surveillance on aircraft targets out to 250 nautical miles and shares commonality with the AN/FPS-117 radar with regard to maintenance activity and Line Replaceable Units (LRUs). There are 127 AN/FPS-117 systems operational in 14 countries and many have operated for years completely unmanned in remote areas and in a wide range of operational environments.
Easy to transport and deploy. Pakistani armed forces has a logistical advantage over its adversery by moving this radar to remote locations via its C-130 air crafts. the Lockheed Martin AN/TPS-77 all-solid-state, 3-D long-range surveillance radar meets today’s expeditionary forces’ needs for performance and reliability. It provides superior long-range detection, especially in weather and clutter, and 360-degree azimuth coverage.
Radar has the flexibility to meet the evolving theater ballistic missile (TBM) threat. Field commanders can count on accurate target data at ranges up to 250 nautical miles and elevations up to 100,000 feet from a radar that can operate 24 hours a day, even with no on-site personnel. Simplified logistics and remote maintenance-monitoring capabilities reduce contribute to low cost of ownership. The system’s sophisticated performance monitoring and fault location system automatically recalibrates the radar to adjust for changes in the environment and component failures.
The AN/TPS-77 offers the proven features such as
* Solid-state, active phased array
* Superior performing L-band operation
* Modular, commercial-off-the-shelf components
* Advanced pencil-beam architecture
* Simplified maintenance
* 99.7% operational availability
* No onsite technicians required
