The U.S. FD fire control radar was known in British service as the Type 285. It was similar to FC but had a larger antenna and gave altitude information. The antenna was a stabilized 6' by 6' (1.8m by 1.8m) double reflector with 2x4 dipoles and the display was an "A" scope with a 100,000 yard (91,000 m) range scale.

An improved version, the Mark 12, used the same antenna but an improved set. The Mark 12 also incorporated a Mark 22 low angle height finding radar. Its "A" scope used a 50,000 yard (45,000 m) range scale.
