<strong>AN</strong>/<strong>APG</strong>-<strong>68</strong>(<strong>V5</strong>) Mechanisation – Range While Search<br />
The Range While Search Mode of the <strong>AN</strong>/<strong>APG</strong>-<strong>68</strong>(<strong>V5</strong>) is designed to return as<br />
many targets in as quick a time as possible. It is a general-purpose search<br />
mode, and shows all airborne contacts that the radar can detect. It is the<br />
most basic of the search radars in terms of information about each contact.<br />
All of the systems for controlling the radar are available to use in the RWS<br />
mode. The main labels for the radar MFD page have been identified – make<br />
note of where the azimuth, bar scan and range settings are. The elevation<br />
indicator is situated on the left side of the radar display (the cyan tick mark).<br />
The elevation here is above the centre tick mark, and so is indicating that the<br />
antenna is tilted up.<br />
Before we continue on to discuss how to use the RWS mode, take note of a<br />
few of the extra labels at the top of the Radar screen. The CRM and RWS tell<br />
you that the radar is in an Air target mode, the RWS tells you that the radar is<br />
Range While Search. Finally the OVRD control allows you to put the system<br />
into standby, and stops the radar emitting (it does not switch it off though).<br />
