The AN/SPN-35 is a Precision Approach Radar (PAR) landing system installed on the Tarawa-class amphibious assault ships and America-class amphibious assault ships allowing Air Traffic Controllers to provide guidance and glide slope corrections to aircraft during the final approach and landing.
The Joint precision approach and landing system (JPALS) is slated to replace the AN/SPN-35 on U.S. Navy amphibious assault ships.
In accordance with the Joint Electronics Type Designation System (JETDS), the "AN/SPN-35" designation represents the 35th design of an Army-Navy electronic device for waterborne navigational aid radar system. The JETDS system also now is used to name all Department of Defense electronic systems.
