AN/FPN-32
The AN/FPN-32 was either an operating probably in S-Band Terminal Area Radar (TAR, manufacturer's designation: S TAR) with a maximum range of 50 statute miles, or its pendant Precision Approach Radar (PAR, manufacturer's designation: S PAR) operating probably in S-Band also.
However, the manufacturer Laboratory For Electronics, Inc. was not very successful in marketing of radars. These are the only known radar sets of this manufacturer.
