| The AN/MPQ-64 Sentinel is a radar that alerts front-line air-defense weapons whenever it sees hostile planes, helicopters, drones or missiles. Sentinel is a three-dimensional radar, meaning it reports the range, bearing and elevation of the objects it is tracking. The radar supports several command and control interfaces, providing consistent air surveillance and fire-control data to weapons that counter unmanned aerial systems, cruise missiles and fixed- and rotary-wing aircraft. It works both at fixed sites and in highly mobile maneuver operations.(Picture source: Raytheon) |
