AN/MPQ-55 HAWK Continuous Wave Acquisition Radar (CWAR\ICWAR)
SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
SYSTEM PARAMETERS
The AN/MPQ-55 is a continuous wave radar set of the HAWK Air
Frequency: CLASSIFIED
Power: CLASSIFIED
Defense System. It provides target range and azimuth information
and utilizes a split-parabolic cylinder reflector antenna.
SYSTEM HAZARDS
HAZARD CONTROLS (to reduce or eliminate risk)
Power Density Levels (PDL) ....
In the nonscanning mode, this system is able to produce potentially hazardous PDLs in
excess of 5x the safety standard. Establish a Nonionizing Radiation Protection Program
(IAW guidelines provided in this TB). In the scanning mode, this system is not able to
produce potentially hazardous PDLs in excess of the safety standard.
Hazard distance from antenna ....
In the nonscanning mode, exclude personnel to a distance of 88 m from the antenna.
With the antenna positioned at a fixed positive elevation angle, no hazard exists for
personnel on level terrain. Do not operate the radar within 36 m (5 x PEL) of potentially
occupied areas.
Open/cracked waveguides .......
All open waveguides and loose or open flanges produce potentially hazardous PDLs to
within 1 m. Exclude personnel from these areas and do not permit operation of this
system with any cracked, broken or open waveguide.
Other.................................
Consult the equipment Technical Manual for other operator and/or maintenance hazards.
