== Description ==


The '''{{PAGENAME}}''' is an American full-digital [[Airborne radars|multi-mode radar]] with TWS, BVR and ACM capabilities.

=== Vehicles equipped with this radar ===


* {{Specs-Link|f_14a_early}}

== General info / usage ==


The {{PAGENAME}} is a target detection and tracking radar (multi-mode). It is a phased array radar. The radar has a theoretical maximum detection range of 150 km. It has four search modes: Track-While-Scan, Pulse Doppler Search, Search and Pulse Doppler Velocity Search.
Track-While-Scan is a special variant of the Pulse Doppler Search mode, with the ability to track up to 24 airborne targets, display 18 of them on the cockpit displays, and launch against 6 of them at the same time.

The radar can lock on to and track a target out to a maximum range of 185 km.
