Abstract
After examining current terrain following radars (TFRs) as well as factors forcing change in TFR systems, the author describes the projected characteristics of future TFRs. He predicts that future TFRs will be multipurpose and short-range systems, transmit low-power pulses and a complex waveform, have an electronically scanned antenna and an irregular scan pattern, operate intermittently, and process large amounts of data. Each of these features is examined
