Talos missile guidance radar. Antenna position controlled by AN/SPG-49. It continued to be part of the Talos system in proposals in which AN/SPG-49 was replaced with more reliable/improved trackers. From Serials 7 through 21, AN/SPW-2 was redesigned to accommodate the nuclear-enable and CW-homing enable features and redesignated AN/SPW-2B. |
