The main components of the system are a shelter and the foldable antenna. These components are the two loads into which the system can be broken down, and packed into two M35 trucks for road transport, or airlifted via helicopter or cargo plane.

Operational history
The AN/TPS-44 completed development in the early 1960s and entered US Air Force service in the late 1960s during the Vietnam War. It is still in service with the United States and other countries, including Argentina. == Users ==
