FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
Antenna Rotation Speed:
Although primarily designed for shipboard
16 1 rpm up to 60-knot load
installation, the AN/SPS-10 may be used at a shore
Horizontal Beam Width:
station. The AN/SPS-10 is employed for the detection,
Radar - 1.5 deg approx
ranging, and tracking of surface targets and, to a limited
IFF - 6 deg approx
extent, of air targets. Provisions are made to supply
Vertical Beam Width:
target range and azimuth intelligence to a standard PPI.
Radar - 12 to 16 deg
Means are provided for beacon and IFF operation.
IFF - 22 deg approx
Resolution:

Azimuth - Less than 1 deg
Range - Short pulse, 50 yd; long pulse,275 yd
The AN/SPS-10 is similar to the Radar Equipment
SO series, except for the voltage regulator and
