AN/TPS-1

The AN/TPS-1 is a type of radar system used by the military to detect and track aircraft at long distances. It operates by sending out radio waves that bounce off objects in the sky, allowing operators to determine the position, speed, and altitude of aircraft. This helps military forces maintain situational awareness and coordinate defense efforts. Designed for portability and rapid deployment, the AN/TPS-1 was particularly useful during the Cold War era for air surveillance and early warning purposes.
