The TTR,
at left, was operated by a 4-man team in the RCT: elevation,
azimuth, range operators (who manually controlled those
functions of the antenna), and a tracking supervisor (who
assisted with overall coordination). The TRR, at right,
was added to the original N-H system to enhance its ECCM
capability: it could be activated -- if needed -- by the
range operator; its inclusion created an "Improved Nike-Hercules"
system. The TRR was famous for its ability to "burn through
ECM"!
