Description
The AN/GPX-6A was a secondary surveillance radar (SSR) system, specifically an Identification Friend or Foe (IFF) interrogator, manufactured by Hazeltine. It operated in the L-band (990-1040 MHz transmit, 1080-1130 MHz receive) and utilized the IFF Standard Mark V. With a peak power of 20 kW, a pulse repetition frequency ranging from 180 to 420 Hz, and a pulse width between 0.7 and 1.2 microseconds, this system was primarily designed for integration with the AN/CPS-6B radar.
