    The AN/TPS-77 is a long-range air surveillance radar system with a 27.1 square meter active array antenna that can detect aircraft out to 300 km and track targets between 10-470 km away. It has 4 agility modes, 100 center frequencies, and can scan in dual 5 or 6 RPM rates. The system provides over 99.5% reliability with a mean time between failure over 2000 hours and repairs taking under 45 minutes on average. It can be transported by C-130, helicopter, truck or train.
