LN-66

The LN-66, alias AN/SPS-59(V) was an X-Band surface surveillance and short-range navigation radar made by the Canadian Marconi Company. The radar was designed to detect surface obstacles or other vessels and utilizes a slotted linear waveguide array with a 4 ft (1.22 m) antenna. The radar was used aboard a wide range of surface combatants.

The radar was widely exported under various class names and designations:
