  The AN/SPN-46(V)2 is a ground-based Precision Approach and Landing System, built by Textron Systems. It is used for PALS training of pilots, operators and maintenance personnel.
  
  ## History
  
  The AN/SPN-46(V)2 was made to replace AN/SPN-42(T)1, AN/SPN-42(T)3, and AN/SPN-42(T)4 radar systems.
  
  ## Specifications
  
  The system functions very similarly to the AN/SPN-46(V)1 system, which is carrier based, and not ground-based. The only major differences between them are that the (V)2 does not possess a MK 16 Mod 12 shipboard stabilization unit, and its antennas are 7 feet (2.1 m) long, as opposed to the 4 feet (1.2 m) long antennas of the V(1).
