Aircraft radars
The AN/APG-26 is an American airborne target tracking radar. In-game it is found fitted in conjunction with the AN/APS-21 target detection (search) radar.
The AN/APG-26 is a target tracking radar which can lock onto targets providing the player with ranging and closing speed information. The radar can lock onto targets at a range of 4 km or less, so the search radar AN/APS-21 should be used to detect targets at longer ranges.
