AN/APY-10

The AN/APY-10 is a multifunction radar developed by the United States of America.

The AN/APY-10 is a development of the AN/APS-137 radar.[1] In comparison to that line it is of reduced size and weight and consumes less power. The radar is optimized for maritime, littoral and overland surveillance.[2] It is able to provide high resolution radar images in both overland and water modes. Available modes include color weather, synthetic aperture radar (SAR), inverse synthetic aperture radar (ISAR), periscope detection, and navigation. ISAR mode is said to be capable of both detecting, imaging and classifying surface targets at long range using a variety of resolutions.[3]

The AN/APY-10 will outfit the Boeing P-8A Poseidon maritime patrol and surveillance aircraft.[3]
