The Multi-function Phased Array Radar (MPAR) was developed for weather and aircraft multi-mission usage. MPAR differs from a standard radar in that it contains a non-rotating stationary panel offering faster scan times just around regions of interest; leading to lower lead times for issuing warnings. MPAR operates in the S-band frequency range at 2.7–2.9 GHz and has a 1.2 to 2.0 degree bandwidth; depending on operation.
