The fire control radar of the S-75 Dvina (Western: SA-2 GUIDELINE) surface-to-air missile system, was given the Western designation FAN SONG. It was complemented by the battery-level SPOON REST radar for target acquisition.

FAN SONG versions[1]
Model Range Frequency Power Comments
A/B 60-120km E/F-band 600kw A was quickly replaced
C/E 70-145km G-band 1 Mw Increased range
F 70-145km E/F-band 600kw Additional low-altitude and electronic counter-countermeasures modes

The later FAN SONG variants had two antennas operating on different frequencies, one to track the target's compass bearing (i.e., azimuth relative to the launcher) and the other to track its altitude (i.e., elevation relative to the receiver). [2]
