October Sky is a **really great** movie.

"The true story of Homer Hickam, a coal miner's son who was inspired by the
first Sputnik launch to take up rocketry......"

Nope, that's for rockets. The one I want is for artillery/ballistic
incoming.

From links on that page, the AN/TPQ-36 and -37 sound *like* the
system, but nowhere can I find a link to the "redxxxxx" name, only
"Firefinder".

That COBRA sounds to be functionally similar, but it isn't the
80's-ish one I was orignally referring to.
