In accordance with the Joint Electronics Type Designation System (JETDS), the "AN/APG-68" designation represents the 68th design of an Army-Navy airborne electronic device for radar fire-control equipment. The JETDS system also now is used to name all Department of Defense and some NATO electronic systems.
