Summary
[edit]DescriptionOrange Yeoman at Malvern.jpg |
English: Orange Yeoman, later known as AMES Type 82, was an early "3d" radar developed by the RRDE at Malvern South Site.
It was originally developed as a medium-range system to provide information for the Yellow River radars directing anti-aircraft guns. This role later passed to the Red Shoes and Red Duster missiles, where Orange Yeoman would guide their illuminator radars for the initial "putting on". In 1963 the defensive role was passed to the RAF, where it gained the Type 82 name. It was used as the putting on system for the Bloodhound missile for a short period, before those missiles were moved to Europe in 1964. The now-unneeded radars found a second life in air traffic control, where they remained in operation at least into the 1980s and possibly 1990s. The antenna system is complex, consisting of the transmitter on the lower right, a lens system above it roughly centered, a reflector on the left, and eleven feed horns in a vertical stack on the near side of the lens. Operational units had another antenna on top, for receiving IFF signals. |
