The Type 32 fire control radar was a naval fire control radar produced by the Imperial Japanese Navy since 1944.
History
The Japanese Type 32 or Mark 3 Model 2 was a fire control radar for warships. It used lobe switching of a two-horn receiver to achieve directional accuracy. It became available too late to help the surface fleet but was deployed as a fire control radar for coastal artillery. The Type 31 was a much heavier early version (5 tons) using a single parabolic antenna, while the Type 33, which was never produced in quantity, was a lightweight version of Type 32 weighing 1760 pounds (800 kg). None of the variants was considered outstandingly successful.
