Israel should be included

[edit]

What I said above. Israel is a fairly major producer of radars for military applications, more so than many other countries listed here. Why are they not listed? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2603:9001:3C05:A088:3D5E:FA22:63D0:E976 (talk) 00:35, 13 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

[edit]

This is a very, very incomplete list of radars. And to make it complete is almost impossible. How many different radars are there world wide for all different kind of applications? Personally, I wouldn't even think about setting up such a list. It would suggest a completeness which cannot nearly ever be established. Lexw 10:34, 12 Apr 2005 (UTC)

JETDS

[edit]

This page gives a pretty extensive list of "Multiservice classifications", however, I feel the provided description of the system would be better handled by delegation to the existing page describing the Joint Electronics Type Designation System. I'm going to include a link, so that the industrious soul that created these lists can replicate their work on that article. 70.251.148.89 (talk) 00:31, 2 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

A bit awkward.

[edit]

I realize that it took a lot of work to maker this, but would it have been so difficult to add commas in the long lists of platforms? "AN/APS-20 S band search and early warning radar by Hazeltine Corporation and General Electric for TBM-3W PB-1W EC-121 ZPG-2W(EZ-1) AF-2W HR2S-1W P-2 WB-29 RC-121C Fairey Gannet CP-107 Argus Lockheed Orion WP-3A and Avro Shackleton" Would look much better and be easier to read if it looked like this: "... for TBM-3W, PB-1W, EC-121, ZPG-2W(EZ-1), AF-2W, HR2S-1W, P-2, WB-29, RC-121C, Fairey Gannet, CP-107 Argus, Lockheed Orion WP-3A and Avro Shackleton." That IS, after all, the proper way to write a list. If it wasn't for the fact you can hover over a link and highlight it, it would be difficult to tell which designations are what and how many aircraft are actually listed. I mean, is it on a "Lockheed Orion P-3A", or on a "Lockheed Orion" AND a "P-3A"? (Which, BTW, I believe ought to be written "Lockheed P-3A Orion", no? Or better yet, just "Lockheed P-3A, since none of the other planes have their names included, except the Brit planes, since those ARE their official designations.).45Colt 18:20, 1 March 2014 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by .45Colt (talk • contribs)

Radar identification

[edit]

Can someone please help dentify the radar system in the following photograph? The equipment is identified as an "AN ASR-547 radar" in the original caption, but this system is not in the list in this article.

File:Lot-2292-7 (39543281205).jpg

I'm preparing to rename the photograph to something more meaningful, but I want to be sure that it is named accurately before updating the name. Thanks for your help! Zcarstvnz (talk) 08:52, 4 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

It may not help but was probably an "SCR-547" per https://www.pinterest.co.uk/pin/311100286731014175/ MilborneOne (talk) 09:09, 4 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Just noted your image is an a commons category "SCR-547 radar" ! Lots of info if you search for "SCR-547". MilborneOne (talk) 09:14, 4 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Turkey

[edit]

I found radar information on Turkey but I am in the middle of some things and will try to add it later. Otr500 (talk) 06:51, 12 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Dubious: AN/APS-32 and AN/APS-70 usage

[edit]

It is well documented that the AN/APS-70 radar (with a massive 42 ft / 12.8 m antenna) was specially designed and built for the 4 Goodyear ZPG-3W blimps, so the identification of this as intended for the for the EC-121 Warning Star and P-2V-6 is extremely dubious. These aircraft simply could not hold a 42 ft rotating antenna.[1]

Likewise, it is unlikely that the AN/APS-32 radar was developed for the obsolete "Guardian" TBM-3 Avenger (and note that the use of Guardian for the TBM is a misnomer). There is documentation that this radar was developed for the 2 Sikorsky HR2S-1W helicopters, and it is obvious from photos of the helicopter that the radome was much larger than what could be carried by the TBM, so again this is a dubious inclusion.[2]

Organization

[edit]

Why are the lists under various subcategories not alphabetized? This list seems very random making it hard to locate any specific system — TadgStirkland401 (TadgTalk) 14:00, 16 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
