HSA LW-01
History
The LW-01 was one of the first generation of air search sets developed after WW2 in the Netherlands. the LW-01 and HSA LW-02 are of one series, where the LW-02 was an destroyer set and the LW-01 the carrier/cruiser set. The LW-01 was used on board the postwar Dutch cruisers and on board the sole Dutch Aircraft carrier. The antenna was 11 meters wide and 4.88 meters high, with an weight of 1.45 metric tons. The radar was designed to form an very narrow beam, which was more efficient then for example the AN/SPS-6. The antenna rotated between 0 and 8 rpm.
HSA internally designated this radar SGR-114/06
