AN/TPS-70 is a mobile rotating S-band phased array 3D radar produced by Westinghouse (Northrop Grumman).[2] It can track 500 targets, displaying target range, height, azimuth, identification friend or foe (IFF) information from an altitude of 0 to 100,000 feet (30,000 meters) to a maximum range of 240 nautical miles (440 kilometres).[1] It is the successor of the AN/TPS-43. The TPS-70 tactical radar provides reliability, sensitivity, and accuracy, even in the face of jamming and high-clutter conditions.[1] It is being replaced by newer systems, but is still in service all around the world.[3]
In accordance with the Joint Electronics Type Designation System (JETDS), the "AN/TPS-70" designation represents the 70th design of an Army-Navy electronic device for ground transportable search radar system. The JETDS system also now is used to name all Department of Defense electronic systems.
