The Radar Tracker Hand Controller (USB) is a joystick-type device designed to be connected to a USB port of a personal computer. It is used to select specific targets when the tracking radar is in the manual mode of operation. Fore and aft motion of the handle allows range positioning of a tracking cursor (range gate). Left-right motion of the handle controls the direction of the antenna's rotation, thereby allowing the antenna to be rotated to a particular azimuth. Mode control of the tracking radar is achieved with the trigger buttons on the handle of the Hand Controller.
