UPX-39
|
UPX-39 Cooperative Surveillance The UPX-39 is a new secondary surveillance radar (SSR) beacon system that will replace the 12 OX-60 secondary (beacon) radars in Alaska (12) and Hawaii (1) at the 13 joint-use (FPS-117 primary radar) facilities to improve the quality, reliability, and availability of radar data used for air traffic control (ATC) and to reduce FAA and United States Air Force (USAF) maintenance costs. The FAA will use existing interfaces to provide the radar data to the Air Route Traffic Control Center (ARTCC) facilities. The FAA provides technical support and funds its share of the cost associated with the fabrication, installation, and acceptance of 13 systems at the joint-use radar facilities. The UPX-39 and collocated primary radar systems provide a correlated digital output to NAS and non-NAS users. |
