History edit
The AN/SPN-46(V)2 was made to replace AN/SPN-42(T)1, AN/SPN-42(T)3, and AN/SPN-42(T)4 radar systems.[1]
Specifications edit
The system functions very similarly to the AN/SPN-46(V)1 system, which is carrier based, and not ground-based. The only major differences between them are that the (V)2 does not possess a MK 16 Mod 12 shipboard stabilization unit, and its antennas are 7 feet (2.1 m) long, as opposed to the 4 feet (1.2 m) long antennas of the V(1).[2]
