Abstract :
In 1993, the US Navy´s COMSEACONTROLWINGLANT (Cecil Field, FL.) agreed to support a proof of concept (POC) demonstration with Norden´s AN/APG-76 multimode radar system, carried in a cargo pod aboard an S-3 Viking aircraft. Norden has modified an S-3 pod, including installation of an F-4 radome, to carry the radar. This modified pod has successfully flown in a non-operational demonstration. Norden is installing a prototype demonstration for the S-3, including the modified pod and aircraft equipment
