List of ground-based radars used by the United States Marine Corps GudangMovies21 Rebahinxxi LK21
This is an incomplete list of ground-based radars operated by the United States Marine Corps since the service first started utilizing radars in 1940. The Marine Corps' has used ground-based radars for anti-aircraft artillery fire control, long range early warning, Ground-controlled interception (GCI), ground directed bombing, counter-battery radar, short-range cueing for man-portable air-defense systems, and fire control for medium range surface-to-air missiles.
Background
Radars were initially used for early warning against enemy aircraft and for rudimentary fire control of anti-aircraft guns. Teey were first fielded to the newly established Defense Battalions and Marine Aircraft Groups containing fighters. Beginning in 1943, Marine Corps aviation commissioned specialized command and control units responsible for training and deploying radars to provide ground-controlled interception, for both day and night fighter operations. Ground based sensors are at the heart of the Marine Corps' current Force Design 2030 strategy because they augment sea-based air defense and command and control capabilities and enhance fleet interoperability.
Long Range Early Warning
A long range/early-warning radar is any radar system used primarily for the long-range detection of its targets, i.e., allowing defenses to be alerted as early as possible before the intruder reaches its target, giving friendly forces the maximum time in which to operate. These radars typically operate at lower frequencies, and thus longer wavelengths, than other types. This greatly reduces their interaction with rain and snow in the air and therefore improves their performance in the long-range role. Today these radars are also used for tracking the high-altitude, exo-atmospheric trajectory ballistic missiles.
Gap Fillers
Gap filler radars are smaller, more mobile radars that are used to cover gaps in long range radar coverage that arises due to curvature of the earth and geographic interference. They are usually placed in areas where enemy aircraft could fly low to avoid areas covered by long range radar.
Heightfinders
A height finder radar is a type of 2-dimensional radar that measures the altitude of a target.
Air Traffic Control & Ground Controlled Approach (GCA) radars
Ground-controlled approach (GCA) is a type of service provided by air-traffic controllers whereby they guide aircraft to a safe landing, including in adverse weather conditions, based on primary radar images. Most commonly, a GCA uses information from either a precision approach radar (PAR, for precision approaches with vertical glidepath guidance) or an airport surveillance radar (ASR, providing a non-precision surveillance radar approach with no glidepath guidance). The term GCA may refer to any type of ground radar guided approach such as a PAR, PAR without glideslope or ASR.
Counter-Battery radar
A counter-battery radar or weapon tracking radar is a radar system that detects artillery projectiles fired by one or more guns, howitzers, mortars or rocket launchers and, from their trajectories, locates the position on the ground of the weapon that fired it.
