AN/APG-53A Radar System
AIR-TO-GROUND MODE
With the mode selector switch in the A/ G position,
the indicator (scope) shows the distance to the
ground dead ahead.
The antenna is automatically fixed in the azimuth
zero position and is parallel to the armament datum
line in the elevation coordinate. When the antenna
bore sight line and the sight line are made parallel
(zero mil lead), the range indication will show the
distance to the point on the ground at which the
sight is aimed.
The angle between the ground and the antenna
boresight line should be at least 10 degrees to
provide adequate radar return for ranging lock-on
. If the distance to the ground exceeds the radar
lockon range, the horizontal line will search from
the top of the scope to the bottom.
