AN/TPS-70 is a mobile rotating S band phased array 3D radar produced by Westinghouse (Northrop Grumman).[1] It can track 500 targets, displaying target range, height, azimuth, Identification Friend/Foe (IFF) information from an altitude of 0 to 100,000 feet (30,480 meters) to a maximum range of 240 nautical miles (444.5 km). It is the successor of AN/TPS-43.
