AN/TPS-59 Tactical Missile Defense Radar

The AN/TPS-59(V)3 is a highly mobile, all solid-state, three-dimensional (3-D) radar for long-range aircraft and tactical ballistic missile detection and tracking. In addition, it is the only mobile radar in the world certified to detect tactical ballistic missiles. The AN/TPS-59(V)3 can precisely predict missile launch and impact points, and cue defensive weapons against incoming threats. The radar’s 740-kilometer (400 nautical miles) range exceeds the range of 90 percent of the tactical ballistic missiles in the world today, and its mobility allows it to be forward-based to further extend the range of the system.

The AN/TPS-59(V)3 can be integrated with other sensors for improved launch and impact point prediction, extended range capabilities, cooperative engagement and joint tactical information distribution.

With over 126 radars deployed in 17 countries worldwide, the TPS-59/FPS-117 family of solid-state radars has an unsurpassed record for performance and reliability.
