AN/TPS-70 is a mobile rotating S band phased array 3D radar produced by Westinghouse (Northrop Grumman).[1] It can track 500 targets, displaying target range, height, azimuth, Identification Friend/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). 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.[2] It is being replaced by newer systems, but is still in service all around the world.[3]
