Notes: |
Originally designed for F-108 Rapier, then reworked into F-12 Blackbird program; then after cancellation of THAT program, eventually evolved into the AN/AWG-9 system found on the F-14 Tomcat. Was the first pulse-doppler radar in the United States; and had a look-down/shoot-down capability for a single target track. |
