The equipment racks are designed for two technicians to operate and monitor the tracking and data collection systems. Target tracking is available in several modes. When available, GPS is used for automatic angle and range tracking. A television camera boresighted to the radar antenna pedestal supplies operators with a visual means to verify angle information. Range track can be accomplished manually using an A-scope display.
Azimuthal track is accomplished manually using a video display.
Automatic azimuthal track is provided using optical video tracking. A UHF FM radio telemetry receiver collects target motion data that are integrated into the radar data stream. In a single run the MkV radar is capable of acquiring data for X and Ku bands and for horizontal and vertical polarization. The MkV waveform table allows preprograming of multiple frequency tables. Each frequency table has a sampling rate optimized for use within specified target-range limits.
