Westinghouse (Northrop Grumman) AN/TPS 63 Radar Systems - Maintenance, Overhaul, Modernization, and Upgrade
Bearing in mind the technological and generational similarities between AN/TPS-63 and AN/TPS-70 radar systems, as well as the fact that they originate from the same manufacturer - their maintenance problematics is also very similiar.
During the exploitation of the AN/TPS-63 radar systems by the Serbian Air Force and Air Defence, MTT-INFIZ provided technical assistance in the form of overhaul and maintenance, as well as the supply of necessary spare parts, on numerous occasions.
The services that MTT-INFIZ provides for the AN/TPS-63 radar systems are listed in the text below.
Maintenance, overhaul, and servicing:
• Entire radar system
• Parts of the radar system, according to the special request of the end-user
• Individual radar assemblies
Supply of the spare parts, testing, and servicing, among other include:
• Procurement and installation of CFA (Crossed-Field Amplifier)
• Procurement and installation of TWT (Traveling-Wave Tube)
• Procurement and installation of Tetrode
Modification and modernization, among other include:
• Procurement of a new IFF radar and its integration into the radar system
