"The AN/MPQ-2 Close Cooperation Control Unit was a truck-mounted post-World War II automatic tracking radar/computer/communication system (\"Q\" system) for aircraft command guidance, e.g., missile tracking, and for Radar Bomb Scoring. For ground directed bombing (GDB), an operator would manually plot a target on the \"Blind Bombing Plotting Sheet\", then use the manual \"E6B computer and bombing tables\" to plot the release point for striking the target, after which a radar operator used the MPQ to acquire a track of the bomber near an initial point during which allowed ground control of the bomb run to the release point."@en . . . . .

Based on the World War II SCR-584 radar developed by MIT and which was used for the \"SCR-584-M missile control Receiver and beacon\", the MPQ-2 included an \"RC-294 Plotter\" and its analog computer for converting radar range, azimuth, and elevation to cartesian coordinates, as well as a plotting board for drawing the aircraft track. The AN/MPQ-2 was the basis for the Rome Air Development Center's AN/MSQ-1 & -2 Close Support Control Sets also used in the Korean War, and the MSQ-1A was used for command guidance of the Matador missile."@en . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
