This thing is leaps and bounds ahead of the AN/TPN 71B system we have used since the 50's, and long overdue!

Will be running our first radar approaches with it today!

I see only one dish and it looks like it's the ASR. Though there does appear to be a separate feedhorn in front, hard to tell from the small pic. Will this system provide both ASR and PAR simultaneously?

Yes, simultaneous ASR and PAR. The PAR antenna is actually the large backwards L-shaped thingy on the back of the sensor vehicle. The IFF antenna is the small one on top of the ASR.

nice toy.....
when you get out check with the FAA, I work on sutff like that for fixed base work, actually you should put in your app about a year before you get out
If you need help drop a message to me, the jos link is here.....

You are looking for AF "FV-2101" for tech jobs
Air traffic uses a diffrent code but it should be in the job title.
