The AN/TPS-44 is a transportable 2-dimensional air search radar produced in the United States originally by Cardion Electronics.

Description

The AN/TPS-44 is a ground-based, non-fixed (i.e.: transportable) search radar.^[1] ^[2]

The main components of the system are a shelter (where the crew operates it) and the foldable antenna. These components are the two loads into which the system can be broken down, and packed into two M35 trucks for road transport, or airlifted via helicopter or cargo plane.^[3]

Operational history

The AN/TPS-44 completed development in the early 1960s and entered US Air Force service in the late 1960s during the Vietnam War. It is still in service with the United States and other countries, including Argentina.{{cn|date=November 2017}}

This radar was deployed by the Argentine Army during the 1982 Falklands War, both in the mainland and at Port Stanley in the islands. The set installed at Stanley was used to guide Argentine air attacks on the British fleet.^[4] It was captured by British forces after the Argentine surrender in June 1982.{{cn|date=November 2017}}
