00:00.217 --> 00:03.134
(percussive music)

00:14.732 --> 00:16.960
- What you saw today was
the Marines from MACS-4

00:16.960 --> 00:20.730
setting up the AN/TPS-80,
the G/ATOR radar.

00:20.730 --> 00:22.850
It is a new system to the unit here,

00:22.850 --> 00:24.060
and also to the Pacific.

00:24.060 --> 00:25.630
It's a lot more
electronically advanced than

00:25.630 --> 00:29.740
our legacy systems, our
older systems that we've had

00:29.740 --> 00:31.280
in previous years.

00:31.280 --> 00:34.300
The G/ATOR's an AESA radar system.

00:34.300 --> 00:37.160
AESA means Active
Electronically Scanned Array.

00:37.160 --> 00:40.210
The benefits to go, we obviously
have the mechanical part.

00:40.210 --> 00:42.973
We benefit a lot from
electronically scanned

00:42.973 --> 00:45.810
surveillances areas.

00:45.810 --> 00:48.410
It's one of our highly-mobile,
highly-transportable radars

00:48.410 --> 00:51.253
that we're fielding to the
Marine Corps in recent years.
