Techincal Specification:
| FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION | THE PRIMARY ROLE OF THE RADAR IS TO PROVIDE WIDE AREA COVERAGE FOR SITUATIONAL AWARENESS THAT CANNOT BE PROVIDED BY EO/IR SENSORS WITH A MUCH NARROWER FIELD OF VIEW. ITS IS EXPECTED THAT RADAR DATA PRODUCTS (GMTI TRACKS, SAR IMAGES) WILL NOT BE USED TO SELECT TARGETS FOR SERVICING WITHOUT CONFIRMATION FROM OTHER SOURCES - EYES ON THE GROUND OR AN EO/IR IMAGE. THE RADAR IS USED TO CUE THE OPERATOR WHERE TO LOOK WITH IMAGING ASSETS. THE RADAR SYSTEM WILL BE DEPLOYED AS A BRIGADE-LEVEL ASSET AND IS TYPICALLY USED FOR TACTICAL RATHER THAN STRATEGIC RECONNAISSANCE. IMPORTANTLY, THE LIKELY SYSTEM OPERATORS ARE NOT TRAINED INTELLIGENCE ANALYSTS WITH SPECIFIC SKILLS IN INTERPRETING RADAR PRODUCTS (AND SAR IMAGERY IN PARTICULAR). INSTEAD, THE OPERATORS ARE SOLDIERS WITH THE NEED TO ESTABLISH IMMEDIATE SITUATIONAL AWARENESS - WHAT'S HAPPENING AROUND ME, WHAT ARE THE THREATS. | | JOINT ELECTRONICS TYPE DESIGNATION SYSTEM ITEM NAME | TARGET ACQUISITION SYSTEM | | JOINT ELECTRONICS TYPE DESIGNATION SYSTEM ITEM TYPE NUMBER | AN/ZPY-1A | | RELATIONSHIP TO SIMILAR EQUIPMENT | 5865-01-566-4885, AN/ZPY-1 IS A PRIOR VERSION TO 5865-01-603-3028, AN/ZPY-1A.
