Overview
Mode 4 Interrogator System (M4IS)
provides host systems with the ability to perform Mode 4 interrogations on
the TPS-75 radar. The system supports multiple protocols and both serial
and IP formats. It also supports interrogations from multiple hosts. It
has been successfully tested by the 133rd TS and fielded.
The M4IS-101D accepts mode 4 interrogation requests from a host
computer system and closes the TPS-75 mode 4 override circuit to trigger
interrogation. The M4IS uses the start and stop azimuths in request
messages and the history of northmark arrivals from the TPS-75 to
determine the start and stop time for requested interrogations.
