Overview

The AN/MPQ-53 is the C-band, multi-function phased array radar at the heart of the formidable Patriot missile air defence system. This powerful unit is responsible for searching, tracking, and identifying potential threats, as well as guiding Patriot missiles to their targets. With a range of over 100km, it can track more than 100 targets and engage up to nine simultaneously, making it a cornerstone of modern air defence.
