APS-143G & AN/APS-508
Telephonics’ APS-143G and AN/APS-508 multi-mission ISR radar systems combine high-performance maritime, littoral and land surveillance capabilities with a fully integrated Identification Friend or Foe (IFF) interrogator into a single system. This COTS-based radar is designed for medium to large fixed-wing aircraft on long-range surveillance missions over sea, land or air. The AN/APS-508 is currently deployed on the CP-140 Aurora platform.
The Telephonics Advantage
