Description:
The AN/PPS-5D, developed
by Syracuse Research Corporation for the U.S. Army, is a cost
effective alternative for replacement of aging AN/PPS-5 A/B systems.
This upgrade completely replaces the existing electronics while
retaining the antenna, feed tripod, azimuth drive and telescope
assemblies.
Dramatic improvements have
been achieved in performance, reliability and maintainability
while reducing size, weight and power consumption. The upgraded
radar is capable of detecting vehicles to a range of 20km and personnel to 10km.
A ruggedized laptop computer enables operation up to 50m
from the radar set. Targets are displayed graphically in PPI
format. Target information
including range, bearing and UTM coordinates are also displayed. The
graphical user displays
simplify radar operation and
minimize training requirements.
The upgraded AN/PPS-5 is readily integrated into multi-sensor
systems and is capable of cuing
optical sensors.
Built-in test capability provides go/no-go status and automatic
fault isolation without the need for external test equipment.
Multiple power supply options are available including 12 or 24 VDC
vehicle power and 85-240VAC,
50-60Hz.
