      • AN/ALQ-153 is an airborne Pulse-doppler tail warning radar for detecting missiles, protecting B-1B Lancer and B-52H Stratofortress aircraft. It replaced the AN/ALQ-127, introducing a solid-state transmitter, frequency-agile waveform and digital processing using non-scanning antennas that have low backlobes. The ALQ-153 was originally manufactured by Westinghouse (now Northrop Grumman).


      History


      Installed on B-52 aircraft at Barksdale Air Force Base, ten test flights were flown in May and June 1981. During these tests, totaling 39 hours, there were four failures with a mean-time-between-failure (MTBF) rate of 9.75 hours.


      Technical Description




      = Features

      =
      Although primarily used for missile defense, the ALQ-153 could accurately warn of aircraft threats as well providing continuous range and time-to-intercept indications on the control indicator. When a missile is detected, an audible tone is transmitted to the electronic warfare officer (EWO) allowing him/her to respond with the proper countermeasures.


      = Components

      =
      The ALQ-153 consists of six line replaceable units (LRUs), with a total size of 2.36 cubic feet weighing 138 pounds. The LRUs include:

      Two antennas
      Radar receiver/transmitter (RT)
      Analog Data Signal Processor (ADSP)
      Digital Data Signal Processor (DDSP)
      Control indicator
      Signal Data Converter
