EPT uses which radar system for electronic protection?

• A. AN/SPS-49
• B. AN/TPS-75
• C. AN/MPQ-64
• D. AN/TAC-XP

Answer: (B)

Electronic protection relies on a radar that can operate reliably in contested electromagnetic environments, using features like rapid frequency agility and robust signal processing to resist jamming and deception while still providing accurate surveillance and tracking.

The AN/TPS-75 is a transportable 3D radar designed for mobile air-defense command and control, and it is equipped to maintain performance under electronic interference, making it a natural fit for electronic protection tasks. The other radars listed serve different roles: the AN/SPS-49 is a shipborne long-range search radar, the AN/MPQ-64 (Sentinel) is the Patriot engagement radar with a primary focus on cueing and acquisition within that system, and the AN/TAC-XP is a test/experimental radar not standard for fielded electronic-protection operations.
