What components require a two-person lift for the AN/TPQ-50?

The two-person lift requirement for the Central Antenna Assembly and Power Supply of the AN/TPQ-50 is based on their size, weight, and handling considerations. These components are sizable, making them challenging to transport or install safely by a single individual. The Central Antenna Assembly, for instance, is a crucial part of the radar system responsible for detecting incoming artillery threats, and its weight necessitates careful handling to prevent damage or injury. Similarly, the Power Supply is crucial for ensuring that the system operates correctly, and its physical size also contributes to the need for collaborative lifting.

Whenever lifting heavy equipment like this, it's essential to follow safety protocols to avoid accidents and to ensure that all components are set up properly for optimal performance. This adherence to safety and operational efficiency is why specific components of the artillery radar system are designated for a two-person lift.
