NEW ACQUISITIONS FOR THE RADAR AND ELECTRONIC WARFARE LABORATORY SUPPORT<br />
FACULTY AND STUDENT RESEARCH<br />
The joint efforts of Professor Jeffrey Knorr,<br />
Chair, Department of Electrical and Computer<br />
Engineering (http://web.nps.navy.mil/~ece/)<br />
Research Associate Bob Bluth, Director of the<br />
Center for Interdisciplinary Remotely Piloted<br />
Aircraft Studies (http://web.nps.navy.mil/<br />
~cirpas/) and Paul Buczynski, Staff Director,<br />
Radar and Electronic Warfare Laboratory, have<br />
led to the acquisition of two new pieces of<br />
equipment to support faculty and student<br />
research. The AN/MPQ-64 Sentinal radar is a<br />
modern mobile, phased array, pulse doppler<br />
radar that will be modified so it can be used as<br />
an instrument for severe storm research.<br />
Funding from the National Science Foundation<br />
is expected to support the modification<br />
and deployment of the radar. The AN/TPQ-<br />
37 Firefinder radar is a modern mobile, phased<br />
array, pulse doppler radar and will be modified<br />
so it can be used as an instrument for meteorological<br />
research. Funding from the Office of<br />
<strong>Naval</strong> Research is anticipated to support<br />
development of at sea capabilities for the Fleet.<br />
