The AN/CPS-6 was a medium-range search/height finder Radar used by the United States Air Force Air Defense Command. The AN/CPS-6 was developed during the later stages of World War II by the Radiation Laboratory at MIT. The first units were produced in mid-1945. General Electric developed and produced the A-model and subsequent B-model at a plant in Syracuse, New York. The unit consisted of two antennas. One of the antennas slanted at a forty-five degree angle to provide the height-finder capability.

  • The AN/CPS-6 was a medium-range search/height finder Radar used by the United States Air Force Air Defense Command. The AN/CPS-6 was developed during the later stages of World War II by the Radiation Laboratory at MIT. The first units were produced in mid-1945. General Electric developed and produced the A-model and subsequent B-model at a plant in Syracuse, New York. The unit consisted of two antennas. One of the antennas slanted at a forty-five degree angle to provide the height-finder capability. Initially, the radar was designed to detect fighter aircraft at 100 miles and 16,000 feet. The radar used five transmitters that operated at S-band frequencies ranging from 2700 to 3019 MHz. It took twenty-five people to operate the radar. An AN/CPS-6 radar was installed as part of the Lashup Radar Network at Twin Lights, New Jersey, in 1949 and proved capable of detecting targets at ranges of eighty-four miles. The first units of the follow-on 6B radar set were ready for installation by mid-1950. Fourteen 6B units were used within the first permanent network. A component designed to improve the radar's range was added in 1954. Initial tests showed the 6B unit had a range of 165 miles with an altitude limit of 45,000 feet. One radar unit and its ancillary electronic equipment had to be transported in eighty-five freight cars. The Air Force phased out the 6B model between mid-1957 and mid-1959. The AN/FPS-10 unit was essentially a stripped-down version of the AN/CPS-6B. Thirteen of these units served within the first permanent network. (en)

AN/CPS-6 dikembangkan selama tahap akhir Perang Dunia II oleh Laboratorium Radiasi di MIT. Unit pertama diproduksi pada pertengahan 1945. General Electric dikembangkan dan diproduksi A-Model dan B model berikutnya di sebuah pabrik di Syracuse, New York. Unit terdiri dari dua antena. Salah satu antena miring pada sudut empat puluh lima derajat untuk memberikan kemampuan tinggi-finder. Awalnya, radar dirancang untuk mendeteksi pesawat tempur pada 100 kilometer dan 16.000 kaki. Radar menggunakan lima pemancar yang beroperasi pada frekuensi S-band mulai 2700-3019 MHz. Butuh waktu dua puluh lima orang untuk mengoperasikan radar. (in)
