TPS-77 Multi Role Radar System:
The TPS-77 Multi Role Radar System is basically a state of the art Radar to detect the aerial targets and threats from long to medium range with precision.
The TPS-77 Multi Role Radar System uses the multi-role single scan technology to detect a long or medium range low-flight surveillance, including Gunship Choppers and Cruise missiles.
The TPS-77 Multi Role Radar System can easily detect the long range aerial threats up to the maximum distance of 463 Kilometers and low-flight surveillance mission range up to the range of 150 Kilometers in total.
The TPS-77 Multi Role Radar System is a highly compact and mobile radar and it can easily be transported by using the locomotives, trucks, helicopters, C-130 Cargo planes and so on.
The TPS-77 Multi Role Radar has a total coverage and detection range up to 463 Kilometers in total. The TPS-77 Multi Role Radar covers a total altitude up to 30.5 Kilometers and it uses the Azimuth 360°. The tracking antenna of the TPS-77 Multi Role Radar rotates 5 RPM to detect long-range aerial surveillance missions.
The TPS-77 Multi Role Radar System also includes Lockheed Martin other radar in this configuration as AN/TPS-77 and AN/TPS-117 radars.
The TPS-77 Multi Role Radar rotates at 360° degree to perform round the clock surveillance of any incoming aerial threats at low and medium range. The robust system of the TPS-77 Multi Role Radar automatically adjusts itself as per the mission requirement.
It is pertinent to mention that the TPS-77 Multi Role Radar System also consists of the Gallium Nitride (GaN) Technology. The Gallium Nitride (GaN) is known to provide high reliability and ultra-low level consumption that offers continuous radar operation over time periods. Furthermore, the GaN also consumes much less power, thus it lower life cycle costs and help to extend the useful life of the radar system.
The versatility of the TPS-77 Multi Role Radar System allows the operators to easily select the specific role or modes for the radar as low-level range or medium-range surveillance in the complex hybrid warfare environment.
The TPS-77 Multi Role Radar can easily be used for multi-role tracking and surveillance purposes as Long Ranger Surveillance, Border Security and Surveillance, Maritime Surveillance, Ground Control Intercept Interdiction, Ballistic Missile Warning, Fighter Jet Detection and Unmanned Aerial Vehicle System (UAVS) detection.
