[ARC5] ARC-5 in Montgomery's personal B-17

I think the military still uses AN/FPS & ANTPS etc. for radar systems.

The AN/ system was valid in WW2 years, but it seems to have been abandoned now; am i right ?

I mean, “ Army – Navy / “ would no longer seem to have any purpose ?

Kind of a pet peeve of mine,  and I'm not picking on Leslie (thank you for the picture).

There never was an ARC-5.   There was an AN/ARC-5, an SCR-274N, and ATA-ARA.    Of course, we all use ARC-5 in a generic term and hopefully the context makes the actual meaning clear.......   Going for my first cup of coffee now.....
