Available Obsolete equipment
Type 1022 Radar
The Royal Navy employed the Type 1022 as an L-Band long-range surveillance radar. It’s a Surveillance, Target Identification, and Surveillance Radar.
Type 1022 was originally installed on HMS Exeter in 1978, and HMS Invincible in 1979, following trials on HMS Grenville. After a successful application in newly built warships, it was deployed in more units during refits, including the Type 42 destroyer and the Type 82 destroyer from the early (Sheffield Class)
Type 1802 Radar
Many ships were equipped with the older Type 965 and 992Q radar systems during the Falklands War. They were useless against low-flying aircraft that took cover on land. The 1022 modification made it easier to track low-flying, ground-hugging targets. When compared to the Type 965 radar, the Type 1022 has “much-enhanced performance, especially in picking out targets against a backdrop of clutter and interference created by undesired returns or enemy jamming.”
