The paper describes the basic mechanical design philosophy of the LAADS mobile ground radar antenna system. Impact of specified operational as well as environmental requirements upon the physical development of the antenna system are outlined and their effect discussed. The selected methods of achieving the major antenna system functions, including automatic deployment, leveling, rotation, stow, and locking within the context of specified requirements are also detailed. A critique of the implemented antenna system after exposure to specified environmental testing and nine months of operational field service concludes the paper.
