The AN/TPY-2 radars are high-resolution, phased array, X-band radars designed and built specifically for the missile defense mission. The radar can be deployed in one of two modes: terminal or forward-based. In terminal mode, the TPY-2 radar is integrated with a THAAD system and serves as its primary sensor. This mode has a shorter range because the sensor is oriented upward to track the late stages of the missile track, enabling the THAAD’s capability to intercept both outside the atmosphere and once a reentry vehicle enters the atmosphere. In forward-based mode, the radar provides crucial sensor tracks of missiles in the boost/early midcourse phase to the GMD system. From these forward-based locations, the TPY-2 can detect and track missiles in their boost and early midcourse phases, determining information such as their speed and trajectory.
