Vehicles equipped with this radar
General info / usage
The AN/APG-59 is a target detection and tracking radar (multi-mode). The radar has a theoretical maximum detection range of 150 km. It has two search modes: Search and Pulse Doppler.
The radar can lock on to and track a target out to a maximum range of 92.5 km; however in order to do this the radar must cease scanning.

History
The AN/APG-59 was an aircraft radar manufactured by Westinghouse for the McDonnell Douglas Phantom FG.1 using the AN/AWG-10 system. It is a sub-model of the more well-known AN/APQ-120. It was specially created to fit the British Phantoms which had small differences because the aircraft carriers were smaller than the US ones.
Media
Excellent additions to the article would be video guides, screenshots from the game, and photos.
