| AN/MPQ-61 HAWK High Power Illuminator Radar (HIPIR)
SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
SYSTEM PARAMETERS
The AN/MPQ-61 is a high power illuminator radar set of the HAWK
Frequency: CLASSIFIED
Power: CLASSIFIED
Air Defense System used for automatic target tracking and
illumination. It utilizes a parabolic reflector antenna.
HAZARD CONTROLS (to reduce or eliminate risk)
SYSTEM HAZARDS
Power Density Levels (PDL) ....
This system is able to produce potentially hazardous PDLs in excess 5x the safety
standard and requires a formal RFR protection program to ensure its safe use. Establish
a Nonionizing Radiation Protection Program (IAW guidelines provided in this TB).
Hazard distance from antenna ....
When the elevation angle is minimal (-200 mils), exclude personnel to a distance of
greater than 15 m and less than 112 m from the antenna. With the antenna positioned at
elevation angles above 0 mils, no hazard exists for personnel on level terrain.
Open/cracked waveguides .......
All open waveguides and loose or open flanges produce very hazardous PDLs within
close proximity of the break. Exclude personnel to within 2 - 3 m from fully open or
broken waveguides. Check waveguide portion of this system periodically for breaks or
cracks, and replace any suspect waveguide.
Other.................................
Consult the equipment Technical Manual for other operator and/or maintenance hazards.
