AN/FPS-120 Solid State Phased-Array [SSPAR]
The AN/FPS-120 solid state, phased-array radar, known as SSPAR, represents a significant improvement over the old mechanical "radar fence" that was previously used at Thule AB, Greenland. The radar can detect objects as far out as 2,800 nautical miles and can look over a 240-degree sweep. It can detect, at an extreme range, objects the size of a small automobile. It can detect smaller objects at closer ranges. A set of computers are used to control the radar and process the data it receives. In addition, vital communications are maintained through a number of systems.
