History

The AN/SPS-37 was developed from AN/SPS-29 by the introduction of pulse compression technology. 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-29 was used, the AS-943 antenna. This series of radars were replaced by radars with shorter wavelengths due to the low resolution possible with the P-band.
