Where is the antenna located for the UPX-29?

The UPX-29 antenna is located on the aft mast of the ship. This positioning is critical for the system’s operational capabilities, as it allows for optimal performance in tracking and identifying targets. Being situated on the aft mast helps to minimize interference from the ship's superstructure and other equipment, ensuring that the antenna has a clear line of sight for its radar and communication functions. This location also allows for better elevation and orientation relative to the water, enhancing the overall effectiveness of the system in maritime environments. In contrast, the other locations such as the fore mast, central deck, and bridge may introduce operational challenges or limitations in the functionality of the UPX-29 due to potential obstructions or interference.
