LANDING CONTROL CENTRAL SYSTEM AN/SPN-42 The landing control central system (tracking and comparison radar) (LCCS) transmits Ka-band signals from the carrier to the aircraft. The LCCS uses a conical scan antenna. This radar system tracks aircraft, and compares the aircraft position to the desired glide path. There are five shipboard subsystems included in subsystems are as follows: this system. These 1. Tracking pulse radar set (Ka band). This radar set locks on aircraft when the aircraft enters the acquisition gate. The system then tracks the aircraft in range, azimuth, and elevation until touchdown or waveoff. 2. Stabilization group. This group translates the actual radar-derived position vector of the aircraft to a Figure 9-1.-Simplified block diagram of the ACLS system. 9-2
