AN/APS-19 is a US Navy airborne early warning radar system used for airborne early warning and control purposes, developed by Westinghouse and General Electronics. The system was designed to provide real-time surveillance and tracking of aircraft and missiles, and has been used in various military operations including the Korean War and the Vietnam War, in conjunction with F-86 Sabre and F-4 Phantom II fighter jets. The AN/APS-19 has also been used by the US Air Force and the RAF, in cooperation with C-130 Hercules and KC-135 Stratotanker aircraft.

● Introduction

The AN/APS-19 is a pulse-Doppler radar system that uses a parabolic antenna to transmit and receive radio waves. The system is designed to detect and track aircraft and missiles at long range, and can provide real-time surveillance and tracking data to command and control centers, such as the NORAD and the EATC. The AN/APS-19 has been used in various military operations, including the Gulf War and the War in Afghanistan, in conjunction with F-22 Raptor and Eurofighter Typhoon fighter jets, as well as AH-64 Apache and UH-60 Black Hawk helicopters. The system has also been used by the RCAF and the ADF, in cooperation with RAAF and CAF aircraft.

● Design_and_Development

The AN/APS-19 was developed in the 1950s by Westinghouse and General Electronics, in collaboration with MIT Lincoln Laboratory and the US Naval Research Laboratory. The system was designed to provide airborne early warning and control capabilities to the US Navy, and was first deployed in the 1960s on E-2 Hawkeye aircraft, which were also used by the French Navy and the JMSDF. The AN/APS-19 uses a pulse-Doppler radar system to detect and track aircraft and missiles, and can provide real-time surveillance and tracking data to command and control centers, such as the Pentagon and the UK Ministry of Defence. The system has undergone several upgrades and modernizations over the years, including the integration of advanced computer systems and software developed by IBM and Microsoft, as well as the use of satellite communication systems provided by Intelsat and Inmarsat.

● Operational_History

The AN/APS-19 has been used in various military operations around the world, including the Korean War and the Vietnam War, in conjunction with US Army and US Marine Corps ground forces, as well as RAF and French Air Force aircraft. The system has also been used in peacekeeping and humanitarian missions, such as the UN peacekeeping mission in Bosnia and Herzegovina and the humanitarian response to the 2010 Haiti earthquake, in cooperation with UN and EU agencies. The AN/APS-19 has been deployed on various aircraft platforms, including the E-2 Hawkeye and the E-3 Sentry, which are also used by the Luftwaffe and the Aeronautica Militare. The system has also been used by the NATO and the EU for airborne early warning and control purposes, in conjunction with F-35 Lightning II and Dassault Rafale fighter jets.

● Technical_Characteristics

The AN/APS-19 is a pulse-Doppler radar system that uses a parabolic antenna to transmit and receive radio waves. The system has a range of over 300 miles and can detect and track aircraft and missiles at altitudes of up to 60,000 feet, using data link systems provided by Rockwell Collins and Harris Corporation. The AN/APS-19 uses advanced computer systems and software to process and analyze radar data, and can provide real-time surveillance and tracking data to command and control centers, such as the NSA and the GCHQ. The system is also equipped with electronic countermeasures to counter electronic warfare threats, developed by BAE Systems and Northrop Grumman.

● Variants_and_Derivatives

There have been several variants and derivatives of the AN/APS-19 developed over the years, including the AN/APS-20 and the AN/APS-120, which have been used by the US Air Force and the RAF. The AN/APS-19 has also been integrated with other sensor systems, such as infrared sensors and electro-optical sensors, developed by Raytheon and Lockheed Martin. The system has undergone several upgrades and modernizations, including the integration of advanced computer systems and software, as well as the use of satellite communication systems provided by SES and Eutelsat.

● Operators

The AN/APS-19 has been used by several military organizations around the world, including the US Navy, the US Air Force, and the RAF. The system has also been used by the NATO and the EU for airborne early warning and control purposes, in conjunction with EDA and OCCAR. Other operators of the AN/APS-19 include the RCAF, the ADF, and the JMSDF, which have used the system in cooperation with C-130J Super Hercules and P-8 Poseidon aircraft. Category:Radar systems
