The AN/APS-145 is a sophisticated radar system used primarily on maritime patrol aircraft to detect ships, submarines, and other objects at sea. It uses radio waves to scan large areas quickly, providing real-time imaging and location data. This radar helps military and coast guard aircraft identify potential threats or targets from a distance, supporting navigation, surveillance, and security operations. Its advanced features include high-resolution imaging and the ability to operate effectively in various weather conditions, making it a critical tool for maritime domain awareness and defense.
