Radar Set AN/MPG-1 is a mobile, medium range radar unit designed for use with seacoast artillery. The functions of the radar are:
- a) to supply exact present position data on targets within 28,000 yards to gun directors or other gun positioning apparatus
- b) to search for approaching surface craft and to supply data on the range (distance)and azimuth (direction) of detected targets. The maximum operating range of the equipment is 80,000 yards.
- c) to supply "splash spotting" data for correcting artillery fire.
