The AN/SPQ-11 Cobra Judy was a PESA radar found on the Template:USNS missile range instrumentation ship.

It was used for space tracking, ballistic missiles tracking and other instrumentation. Cobra Judy was the Airforce code name for the afloat phased-array radar that was designed with a primary mission of monitoring Soviet missile tests and which operated in conjunction with land based phased-array radar Cobra Dane and Cobra Ball aircraft.[1] Cobra Judy was replaced by the Cobra Judy Replacement (CJR) in April 2014.

In accordance with the Joint Electronics Type Designation System (JETDS), the "AN/SPQ-11" designation represents the 11th design of an Army-Navy electronic device for surface ship special radar system.[2][3] The JETDS system also now is used to name all Department of Defense electronic systems.

Replacement

The Cobra Judy Platform, Template:USNS was taken out of service and stricken from the Naval Vessel Register March 31, 2014.[4] On 31 March 2014, the Cobra Judy Replacement program, aboard Template:USNS reached initial operational capability (IOC). According to the Naval Sea Systems Command (NAVSEA), the U.S. Air Force also assumed operational and sustainment responsibilities for the ship.[5] The inertial navigation system for the antenna stabilization and alignment had been provided by iMAR Navigation.
