AN/MPQ-65 Radar System – High-Detail 3D Model Project

AN/MPQ-65 Radar System – High-Detail 3D Model

This project showcases a highly detailed 3D model of the AN/MPQ-65 Radar System, a core component of the Patriot air and missile defense system. The focus of this work was technical accuracy, structural realism, and production-ready topology suitable for high-end visualization and simulation.

The AN/MPQ-65 is responsible for detection, tracking, and identification of aerial threats. This model faithfully represents its trailer-mounted phased-array radar configuration used by U.S. and allied forces.

Project Highlights

True-to-scale proportions based on real-world reference data

Clean topology optimized for close-up renders

High-detail exterior modeling with realistic panel segmentation and structural elements

Created in 3ds Max 2022

Rendered with Corona Renderer 9

Production-ready scene setup

Technical Details

High-quality polygonal mesh

Suitable for cinematic rendering, military visualization, and simulation pipelines

Available formats: .max / .fbx / .blend / .obj / .stl

This project is part of my ongoing military and defense equipment series, where I focus on precision modeling and realistic asset development.
