The Millimeter Wave Radar (MMW) is a dual frequency (Ka- and W-Band) monopulse tracking radar. It is characterized by high range and Doppler resolution, high sensitivity, precise pointing and tracking, waveform flexibility, and a high degree of computer control for real-time operation and signal processing.

The MMW has a signal bandwidth of 2 GHz yielding a range resolution of 0.014 meters. The Doppler resolution at 35 GHz is 0.214 m/sec. The recording window is 37.5 meters. A larger recording window is available by reducing the pulse bandwidth to 1000 MHz or 500 MHz. For targets that do not require signature waveforms, narrowband pulses of 6 and 12 MHz bandwidth are available.
