AN/TPS-78 Advanced Capability (ADCAP) and ADCAP Multi-Mode Radar (MMR)

The AN/TPS-78 Advanced Capability (ADCAP) & ADCAP Multi-Mode radars are the next generation advanced air surveillance radar made possible by advances in high power transistor design.

Supported by Northrop Grumman’s more than 60 years of experience in building high-performance radars, the long-range AN/ TPS-78 ADCAP family of radars are fielded and operationally proven by the U.S. Air Force and customers worldwide.

The AN/TPS-78 ADCAP™ includes an advanced small target UAS and Maritime tracking subsystem with integrated automatic detection and tracking. Its purpose is to detect and track all slow air and maritime moving targets within the system volume of coverage by providing advanced track initiation and continuity algorithms and reduced false track rates.

The AN/TPS-78 ADCAP™ MMR is a long-range (240 nmi /444km) S-Band 3D radar, with both a 10 second and a 5 second scan rate that is well suited for both Ground Control Intercept Mission requiring faster target update rates as well as long range air surveillance including Tactical Ballistic Missile (TBM) tracking.
