Question came up in the power systems for ships thread about what exactly the duty cycle is for something like SPY6.

Talking about the TRMs it was ~144kW per TRM but 20% duty cycle.

I was under the impression that the 20% duty cycle is the standard air search cycle, and the duty cycle doesn't particularly increase across the whole array for tracking or missile guidance. Is that correct?
