Description

The AN/APG-70 is an X-band, pulse-Doppler multimode airborne radar system designed for both air-to-air and air-to-ground missions. Developed as an upgrade to the AN/APG-63, it features enhanced reliability with a mean time between critical failures (MTBCF) of 80 hours, improved maintainability, and incorporates gate array technology. This technology enables new operational modes and significantly enhanced capabilities in existing modes, allowing it to detect and track aircraft and small, high-speed targets from beyond visual range down to close range and treetop altitudes, across an instrumented range of 100 nautical miles (185 km). The radar feeds target information to the aircraft's central computer for weapons delivery and automatically acquires enemy aircraft for close-in engagements, displaying this information on the cockpit head-up display. The AN/APG-70 is employed on late-model F-15 Eagle air superiority fighters.
