RMAF learns how to maintain the TPS-75, 77 and 78 from National Guard

Posted on by alert5

A group of airmen from the Royal Malaysia Air Force were in the United States last month to receive training on how to operate and maintain the TPS-75, 77 and 78 radar from the Western Air Defense Sector.

The Western Air Defense Sector hosts twelve members of the Royal Malaysian Air Force as part of a subject matter exchange entailing hands-on training at a radar site at Camp Rilea, Oregon, Aug. 27, 2021. The 116th Air Control Squadron, Oregon Air National Guard, provided a week long course on the TPS-75 mobile, tactical radar system which is capable of providing radar azimuth, rang, height, and identification of friend or foe information for a 240-nautical-mile area. Washington and Malaysia have been partner countries in The National Guard State Partnership Program since August 2017. Through SPP, the National Guard conducts military-to-military engagements in support of defense security goals but also leverages whole-of-society relationships and capabilities to facilitate broader interagency and corollary engagements spanning military, government, economic and social spheres.
