AN/APS-4 – Historical and Technical Application

The AN/APS-4 radar pod, also known as the ASH airborne radar, was developed in the United States during World War II. It was widely used by American and Allied air forces—especially on aircraft such as the P-38 Lightning, P-61 Black Widow, B-25 Mitchell, and Mosquito NF. It was primarily used for detecting surface targets, facilitating patrol, escort, and bombing missions in conditions of limited visibility, mainly at night or in poor weather. It was used from around 1944 to the early 1950s, and also saw service during the early stages of the Cold War.
