Abstract
The HAPDAR (HArd Point Demonstration Array Radar) described is a multifunction phased array radar in operation at the White Sands Missile Range. The principle design feature is the TACOL (Thinned Aperture COmputed Lens) array. The array and system design concepts are discussed and a detailed physical, functional, and analytical description of the radar is presented. Recently obtained operational test results on array patterns and multitarget tracking performance are discussed and compared with design specifications.
