Anyone got any info on the AN/APS-36 radar? Apparently an airborne search radar built by Philco circa 1948 for USN. Worked in old Q band (35 GHz). I'd guess it did not see wide service - possibly never entered service at all.
 
Don't know if the 1948 build date is accurate, but the device was certainly in existence by 1952, because the UK acquired an example.
 
Paul,

thanks. Yes, I think I originally got the date from that first reference. I assume it was only produced in small numbers for research/special applications purposes.
