Romanian Radar Reinforcements
March 15,
2008: Romania is buying 17 more U.S. TPS-79(R) 3-D radars. These radars are very popular with the military as the
AN/TPS-79. Romania bought two TPS-79(R)s
six years ago, for evaluation, and were satisfied with it. The TPS-79(R) is
portable, and can be set up in less than an hour. It can track aircraft up to
110 kilometers away, and at altitudes up to 30,000 feet. Typically, an
TPS-79(R) will run for about a thousand hours (six weeks) before needing
repairs of maintenance. Romania already has several long range radars, and the
TPS-79(R) will be used to fill in gaps between existing long range radars. Some
of the manufacturing of these TPS-79(R) systems will be done in Romania.
