Samuil Pavlovich Rabinovich (Russian: Самуил Павлович Рабинович; 1909–1988) was a Soviet engineer, one of the founders of practical radiolocation, the chief designer of the first series of radar stations designed in the 1940s, 1950s and 1960s.
This station was deployed in the war near the Moscow detected more than 200 German bombers and gave information about them to guide fighters and targeting anti-aircraft artillery.
For the first time in domestic practice, the station CPA-4 provided three modes: circular scanning, manual antenna control and automatic target tracking the angular coordinates.
The first mode is used for target detection and monitoring of the traffic condition on the indicator, the second—for the detection of targets in specific sector before going to the auto maintenance and for coarse positioning, the third—to accurately determine the azimuth and elevation in automatic mode and manual slant range or semi-automatic way.
In the 1970s was the chief designer of the radar ST-68 (5N59) - moving the three coordinates of the station to detect and track low-altitude targets in active and passive noise in the presence of strong reflections from the ground and in adverse weather conditions.
