The Avco AN/FPS-26 Radar was an Air Defense Command height finder radar developed in the with a tunable 3-cavity power klystron for electronic counter-countermeasures (e.g. to counter jamming). Accepted by the Rome Air Development Center on 20 January 1960 for use at SAGE radar stations, the AN/FPS-26 processed height-finder requests (e.g., from Air Defense Direction Centers) by positioning to the azimuth of a target aircraft using a high-pressure hydraulic drive, then "nodding" in either a default automatic mode or by operator command. The inflatable radome required a minimum pressure to prevent contact with the antenna which would result in damage to both (technicians accessed the antenna deck via an air lock.) To maintain high dielectric strength, the waveguide was pressurized with sul

  • Radar AN/FPS-26 adalah sebuah radar finder ketinggian yang digunakan oleh Komando Pertahanan Udara Angkatan Udara Amerika Serikat. Itu adalah sebuah aplikasi awal konsep yang disebut "Frekuensi Diversity", yang mengambil keuntungan dari perangkat output daya merdu (kekuatan klystron 3-rongga) untuk memungkinkan operator radar dengan mudah dan cepat mengubah frekuensi radar. Daya keluaran dari pulsa transmitter adalah sekitar 5 megawatt. (in)

  • The Avco AN/FPS-26 Radar was an Air Defense Command height finder radar developed in the with a tunable 3-cavity power klystron for electronic counter-countermeasures (e.g. to counter jamming). Accepted by the Rome Air Development Center on 20 January 1960 for use at SAGE radar stations, the AN/FPS-26 processed height-finder requests (e.g., from Air Defense Direction Centers) by positioning to the azimuth of a target aircraft using a high-pressure hydraulic drive, then "nodding" in either a default automatic mode or by operator command. The inflatable radome required a minimum pressure to prevent contact with the antenna which would result in damage to both (technicians accessed the antenna deck via an air lock.) To maintain high dielectric strength, the waveguide was pressurized with sulfur hexafluoride (SF6), which technicians were warned would produce deadly fluorine if waveguide arcing occurred. FPS-26 units were installed at Luke AFB, MacDill AFB (1961), Hunter AFB (1961), Chandler AFS (1961), Baudette AFS (1963), Las Vegas Air Force Station (1963), Montauk AFS, Lockport AFS (1962), Fort Fisher AFS (1962), Winston-Salem AFS (1962), North Charleston AFS (1961), Aiken AFS, and Sundance AFS. Charleston AFS, Charleston, ME (exact date of installation unknown some time between 1961-1963) Acme Missiles & Construction Corp., Rockville Centre, N.Y. built the radar tower facilities at Missile Master, Pittsburgh Defense Area, Oakdale, Pa.
