AN/SPS-10 is a two-dimensional radar manufactured by Raytheon Technologies. It was used by the US Navy as a surface-search radar after World War II and was equipped aboard naval ships during the Cold War. Variants include AN/SPS-10B, AN-SPS/10E, and AN/SPS-10F. ^[1]

In accordance with the Joint Electronics Type Designation System (JETDS), the "AN/SPS-10" designation represents the 10th design of an Army-Navy electronic device for surface ship search radar system. The JETDS system also now is used to name all Department of Defense electronic systems.

AN/SPS-10

It was first introduced in 1959 during the Fleet Rehabilitation and Modernization, in which it was equipped aboard Gearing-class, Fletcher-class, Allen M. Sumner-class, and Benson-class destroyers. It was a standard radar for US Navy ships throughout the subsequent phases of the Cold War.

By 1998, the radar had been replaced in service by AN/SPS-55. ^{[2] [3]}
