A fix on coast guard radar
Article Abstract:
Hughes Aircraft Co was awarded a contract by the Coast Guard and the Navy to provide a new Surface Search Radar (SSR) in Jan 1997. The number of radar systems to be acquired range from 400 to 2,000. The SSR is intended to replace the old AN/SPS 64s and other radar systems which are several times more expensive than the SSR. Among the innovations provided by the SSR is a color display with greater resolution than current radar and an interface featuring pop-up menus, graphic buttons, slides and a track ball.

World-beating SAMPSON radar reconfigured
Article Abstract:
BAE Systems has completed the new configuration of the SAMPSON multi- function active phased array air defense radar. The new innovative radar design is almost spherical, but still retains the original two arrays internally. The reconfigured design, which is needed for the application of the radar on the Royal Navy's new Type-45 destroyers, features several improvements, including lower wind resistance and enhanced performance.
