The Multifunction Phased Array Radar (MPAR) is an airborne S-band radar developed for weather and aircraft surveillance. MPAR has a non-rotating stationary panel, allowing for faster scans compared to standard weather radars. MPAR performs four scan modes simultaneously: Aircraft Track While Scan, Rapid Update Weather Scan, High Fidelity Horizon Weather Scan, and High Fidelity 3D Volume Weather Scan. It operates in the 2.7 to 2.9 GHz frequency range and has a beam width of 1.2 to 2 degrees.
