Medium Range Air Defense Radar (MRADR) CRT

Decision Technologies, Inc.•Virginia Beach, VA

About The Position

A MRADAR CRT is responsible for the operation, maintenance, and repair of advanced radar systems used in surveillance, target acquisition, and air traffic control. These technicians ensure the accuracy and reliability of mobile radar equipment, often deployed in diverse environments to support real-time battlefield awareness and airspace management. Their duties include troubleshooting electronic systems, calibrating radar components, and coordinating with command elements to provide critical data for mission planning and execution. MUST HAVE SECRET CLEARANCE

Requirements

Proven experience operating and maintaining ground-based air defense radar systems (e.g., MRADR, AN/TPS-80 G/ATOR, or equivalent).
Familiarity with radar theory, target acquisition, and electronic warfare principles.
Strong understanding of electronic circuitry, RF systems, and mechanical components used in radar platforms.
Ability to read and interpret technical manuals, schematics, and troubleshooting guides.
Experience working in joint or combined arms environments is a plus.
