The J/APG-1 is an active phased array radar developed to equip the Japanese Air Self-Defense Force (JASDF) F-2 fighter aircraft. The J/APG-1 radar only has a detection range of 40 kilometers due to problems caused by the interferences coming from the interaction of the body and the radar's antenna. This radar system entered service with the F-2 jet in 2002.
