TPS-8A Multifunction Ground Radar

Description
The TPS-8A is a transportable multi-function ground-based radar. It features three operational modes; Search, Directional Search, and Lock-mode. It is based on the APG-4A radar search function but with expanded function including implementation of my new Model 12 Automatic Transponder system which will be be linked below. The control container is built onto Keptin's RMMV | Heavy Utility Truck. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2270318053 and a modified version of his missile trailer.

If you're interested in a compact naval version designed for ships: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2544517823



This version includes:
  • 360° Range-while-scan search function
  • Variable scan width directional search function
  • Track up to 100 targets
  • Scan ranges of 5000 meters.
  • Radar-Transponder Correlation
  • Exportable GPS/Alt data in Directional Search and Lock mode
    -Ch1) GPSX
    -Ch2) GPSY
    -Ch3) Altitude
    -Ch4) relative azimuth (+/- from direction of radar in turns[-.5 to +.5])
    -Ch5) relative elevation (+/- from direction of radar in turns [-.5 to +.5]
    -Ch6) Direct range (in meters from radar)
  • Single-target lock-on mode
  • Functional start-up BIT test (DLINK is placeholder)

Set-Up Instructions: 1) Turn on electrical power to trailer. 2) Deploy legs (this will automatically detach from truck hitch). 3) Move truck to desired location (within cable range). 4) Connect blue data/power cable from truck to trailer (look for blue arrows). 5) Enter Truck and power on main circuit breakers. 6) Start AUX Generator. 7) Go to trailer and raise array. 8) Verify the Safety Interrupt button on trailer is disabled. 9) Go to control seat and enable console and system power. 10) Turn on array drive to begin transmitting and operation. To change to directional search mode click the [MODE] button. To move the array while in directional search mode, use the CW and CCW buttons. To narrow/expand the search area in directional search mode use the Increase and Decrease buttons. To select a target, cycle to it with the Left and Right target cycle buttons. To lock on to a target, while in directional search mode, cycle to it and press the Lock button. To open and close the IFF panel, use the touch screen to click on the IFF window in the bottom right of the display. The selected IFF target is synchronized to the main target selection.



Future versions are planned to build on this version as a foundation.

Please do not re-upload direct copies of this radar.

The truck is based off of Kep's RMMV | Heavy Utility Truck, but as far as the equipment that I added to it, you are free to do so. Just make sure you leave attribution to this project and probably to Keptin's original as well. The link to which you can find near the top of this project.

I put it into a ship-friendly form factor but am having issues accessing my workshop page so I can't leave the link. If you can go to my workshop page you might be able to find it. If not, I will try to figure out what's wrong.
Jim Halpert  [author] Jul 11, 2021 @ 12:21pm 
Yeah, I could give it a go.
KenneGlitch Jul 11, 2021 @ 11:04am 
could you make a version of this to mount on to ships?

this is really good. i will use this with some other stuff probably.

It would be possible to adapt this to a sonar without much problem. I don't have plans to do that currently however, but when I get more time to play Stormworks I will keep that suggestion in mind.
