History
The AN/SPS-29 was developed to have the same performance as AN/SPS-17 on the same weight as the AN/SPS-28. These radars were meant to be long range 2D air search sets. They used the P-band frequency range. A similar matress antenna as AN/SPS-28 was used, except for the D variant. The first was delivered in 1958 and 89 were made. For the USCG, an smaller antenna variant was created, the AN/SPS-29D. All other variants use the same AS-943 antenna. After that it evolved into the AN/SPS-37. This series of radars were replaced by radars with shorter wavelengths due to the low resolution possible with the P-band.
