About

CHAPTER 2 EQUIPMENT 4. Description a. The AN/TPS-25 (fig. 1) is a transporta- ble, battlefield surveillance radar set of the noncoherent Doppler type and is designed to detect and locate moving ground targets at ranges between 450 and 18,280 meters. In nor- mal operation, the radar set is capable of locat- ing a moving man at a range of approximately 4,500 meters and a moving vehicle at a range of 18,280 meters—the maximum range of the set. This radar can be used to supplement sur- veillance of the battlefield by forward observ- ers. b. There are two means of target presenta- tion on the AN/TPA-25—a visual presentation on a cathode-ray tube and an audible presenta- tion on a loudspeaker and earphones. c. Target locations are represented on the range, azimuth, and elevation counters and on Cartesian (X and Y) coordinate counters.
