AN/SPS-10 is a two-dimensional radar manufactured by Raytheon Technologies. It was used by the US Navy as a surface-search radar after World War II and was equipped aboard naval ships during the Cold War. Variants include AN/SPS-10B, AN-SPS/10E, and AN/SPS-10F.[1]
AN/SPS-10
[edit]It was first introduced in 1959 during the Fleet Rehabilitation and Modernization, in which it was equipped aboard Gearing-class, Fletcher-class, Allen M. Sumner-class, and Benson-class destroyers. Since then, was a normal standard for US Navy ships to be equipped with it throughout the Cold War.
By 1998, the radar has been put out of service by AN/SPS-55.[2][3]
