Design to improve the reliability, maintainability and survivability of the AN/TPX-75 radar antenna pedestal. The pedestal supports the weight of the antenna sail, houses the rotary joint that allows the antenna to rotate 360 degrees while operating, and controls the rotation of the sail via bearing assemblies and gear mechanisms. The modification kits consist of the following parts: a single enclosed roller bearing assembly, a newly designed rotating pedestal, and other associated pieces necessary for assembling the radar pedestal. It represents a mechanical version of a plug and play type addition to an existing system. This kit replaces the current stationary pedestal, rotating pedestal, and dual ball-bearing assembly. All other hardware remains identical to the current design. No changes are necessary to any of the interfaces within the radar pedestal. 25 each. Delivery and ship TBD.
