ATCR-3T

ATCR-3T was operating in S band Air Traffic Control Radar. The tunable magnetron type RK5586 of Raytheon was used in the transmitter.

The radar was designed in 1960 and used until the late 1980s.

A scaled-down, cheaper version, which lacked certain parts and functions, was called ACR-5S and was installed at several airfields. Later, a secondary radar type UPX-6 was retrofitted.
