I've been trying to identify this radar.
Are you sure it's a radar? Rather than, for example, an optical
instrument like a theodolite mounted in a protective hutch?
I'm wondering with the 4 doors on it if its not a launcher.
Portable theodolites had their own dome that they came with. Had a
plumb they could put over a surveyed point to quickly set up at a
known location. WSMR was trying to sell a LASER system they developed
once that didn't work worth shit. Nearly fobbed it off to Edwards,
don't know what happened to it when it went to China Lake, though Navy
had a few more brighter bulbs than the AF had.
