I can relate to that.
Indeed. The first AEW 3 flight was in 1980. The R1 led a very secretive life during the Cold War.

Major components:
AN/FPS-23 UHF-band gap filler bistatic "Fluttar" (flutter radar). Each set had a separate transmitter (AN/FPT-4) and receiver (AN/FPR-2), typically located about fifty miles apart. It used the Doppler effect to detect aircraft trying to pass between the transmitter and receiver.
🧵 A typical DEW Line Auxiliary radar station.
