Description
The AN/APN-241, also known as the Low Power Color Radar (LPCR) or Northrop Grumman MR-4000, is an X-band airborne weather and navigational radar developed in the United States. Designed specifically for the C-130 Hercules transport aircraft, it replaces the older AN/APN-59 radar. This system provides high-resolution ground mapping for accurate low-level navigation and precision aerial drops, predictive windshear detection in all weather conditions, and enhanced situational awareness for all-weather formation flying, with an instrumented range of 320 nautical miles (593 km) and a mean time between critical failures (MTBCF) of 1300 hours.
