the primary role of the radar is to provide wide area coverage for situational awareness that cannot be provided by eo/ir sensors with a much narrower field of view. its is expected that radar data products (gmti tracks, sar images) will not be used to select targets for servicing without confirmation from other sources - eyes on the ground or an eo/ir image. the radar is used to cue the operator where to look with imaging assets. the radar system will be deployed as a BRIGADE-Level asset and is typically used for tactical rather than strategic reconnaissance. importantly, the likely system operators are not trained intelligence analysts with specific skills in interpreting radar products (and sar imagery in particular) . instead, the operators are soldiers with the need to establish immediate situational awareness - what's happening around me, what are the threats.
5865-01-566-4885, an/ZPY-1 is a prior version to 5865-01-603-3028, an/ZPY-1A. both systems are integrated onto the same platform and perform the same misson, only an/ZPY-1A is the extended range (er) version of the an/ZPY-1

A collection of items, two or more being major electronic components which, when used with airborne radar and/or other sensors, will provide facilities for receiving and transmitting radar data, and furnishing continuous target position data to a computer and/or artillery units and/or c3i facilities. May include facilities for local control and/or monitoring, aligning or leveling during installation.
Indicates there is no data in the hmirs and the nsn is in a fsc not generally suspected of containing hazardous materials.
Precious metal content is unknown
Represents items with both esd and emi sensitivity.
Represents items with no adp components
The item does not have a nuclear hardened feature or any other critical feature such as tolerance, fit restriction or application.
HMIC: Hazardous Material Indicator Code. A one position code that identifies a hazardous item.
PMIC: Precious Metal Indicator Code. A one position code which identifies items that have precious metals as part of their content. precious metals are those metals generally considered to be uncommon, highly valuable, and relatively superior in certain properties such as resistance to corrosion and electrical conductivity.
ESD: Electrostatic Discharge. Indicates if an item is susceptible to electrostatic discharge or electromagnetic interference damage. electrostatic discharge damage occurs when an accumulation of static electricity generated by the relative motion or separation of materials is released to another item by direct contact. electromagnetic interference damage occurs when an item comes into proximity with an electrostatic or magnetic field.
ENAC: Enviromental Attribute Code. Identifies items with environmentally preferred characteristics.
CRITL: Criticality Indicator Code. Indicates an item is technically critical by tolerance, fit, application, nuclear hardness properties, or other characteristics.

SOS: Source of Supply. A three position code or routing identifier code (ric), which identifies the source of supply activity.
SMIC: Special Material Indicator Code. A two position code, which categorizes material on the basis of requirements for source or quality control, technical design or configuration control, procurement, stocking and issue control, special receipt, inspection, testing, storage, or handling.
MMAC: Material Management Aggregation Code. A two position code that identifies an item of supply to be managed by a specific activity manager.
MCC: Material Echelon Code. A two position code employed by the marine corps in classifying items into categories by materiel category and procurement echelon. the alphanumeric management code is in the first position and identifies the materiel category
IMC: Denotes wether items shall be subjected to integrated management under the defense supply agency or retained by the individual military service or other department of defense components for their management. Assigned by th activity responsible for item management coding.
