AN/APG-79

The AN/APG-79 is a type of active electronically scanned array (AESA) radar that was developed for use on the United States Navy's Boeing F/A-18E/F Super Hornet and Boeing EA-18G Growler aircraft.

[1] The radar's AESA technology provides quick updates on multiple targets, and its solid-state antenna construction makes it more reliable and cost-effective than traditional radar systems.

[2] The radar has a range of up to 150 km (80 nm) and can track multiple targets simultaneously.

[3] It is capable of firing weapons such as the AIM-120 AMRAAM's D model and guiding multiple missiles to targets located at varying distances and directions.

[citation needed] The AN/APG-79(V)4 has been selected for retrofitting the F/A-18C/D[5] and upgrading the fleets of F/A-18 fighters in Canada,[6][7] Malaysia and the United States Marine Corps.
