History

The AN/SPN-46(V)2 was made to replace AN/SPN-42(T)1, AN/SPN-42(T)3, and AN/SPN-42(T)4 radar systems.[1]

Specifications

The system functions very similarly to the AN/SPN-46(V)1 system, which is carrier based, and not ground-based. The only major differences between them are that the (V)2 does not possess a MK 16 Mod 12 shipboard stabilization unit, and its antennas are 7 feet (2.1 m) long, as opposed to the 4 feet (1.2 m) long antennas of the V(1).[2]

gollark: It's not that it will be too hard to speak, just that people will drift a lot.
gollark: How many people are going to appreciate and stick to your Perfectly Logical Langaugeā„¢?
gollark: People would probably, without some mechanism to stop that, drop down to a simpler or easier to say/learn version.
gollark: English works... fairly like German and French.
