AN/MPN

The AN/MPN is a mobile Ground-controlled approach radar first used during World War II. "MPN" is Joint Electronics Type Designation System nomenclature for Ground mobile (M), Radar (P), Navigation aid (N).

Variations

AN/MPN-1 radar, 1944

Earlier radars included the AN-FPN-36 "Quad Radar", a compact and portable system that could function as either an airport surveillance radar, GCA radar, non-precision ASR approach radar, or airport surface detection equipment, and the AN-CPN-4, a larger, more modern and precise system that provided those functions. The AN/MPN-26 program was cancelled in 2008.
