OVERVIEW: The Type 278 ANU radar is a shipborne, nodding height-finding  radar operating in the NATO E/F-band (IEEE S Band).

DETAILS: The Type 278 ANU was a stabilized  nodding height finding radar.  It featured a narrow beam  width of less than 5° and a vertical spread of 2·5°. Its effective range was 80-90km.  It could be switched to one of two pulse lengths, the smaller pulse length providing better resolution but had a lower maximum range.
