has gloss | eng: The Hughes SCANFAR system was the first deployed United States Navy phased array radar system installed on the USS Long Beach and USS Enterprise. It consisted of two search radars, the AN/SPS-32 and the AN/SPS-33. In 1982, the system was removed from Long Beach, and was replaced by the AN/SPS-48 during a comprehensive overhaul. Despite its failure, the lessons learned were applied to the AN/SPY-1 radar and Aegis combat system. Aboard the Long Beach, the system used AN/SPG-55 radars for missile guidance. |
