M-33 RADARS
One of the six M-33 Radars at Oscura
Range Camp. The large antenna left of center is the Target Acquisition
Radar, which scans a 100 mile radius and can designate targets for the
Track radar mounted atop the Van.
This is a close-up of the M-33 Tracking
Radar mounted atop the Van. It also had an optical periscope which was
boresighted to the radar for positive target identification.
