Eight radiators are disposed along a line in a vertical plane that intersects the focal point of a paraboloid reflector. When excitation is applied to a radiator, electromagnetic energy is transmitted therefrom to the reflector, thereby causing the reflector to reflect a beam at a selected elevation angle. Moreover, the beam is focused in azimuth. The beam is defocused in elevation in direct relation to its angle of elevation.

A mobile missile system that is automatic in operation and that is designed to simultaneously defend against a multiplicity of air born targets as well as moving ground targets by using a time-sharing radar installation that performs the functions of acquisition, tracking and discrimination of the targets, simultaneous tracking of discrete units of the targets, transmission of command signals to the launchers for launching the missiles, and command control of the missiles after the launch, all on the same time-sharing basis.
