Master - T

Carry, unfold, watch :

Master-T is a robust, tactical 3D radar designed for air surveillance and air defense roles. Packed in two 20-foot ISO parcels, Master-T is transportable by road (10-ton vehicles), air (C-l30H), rail and sea and can be deployed on unprepared sites. Radar installation takes a maximum of 30 minutes with a crew of four. Ten minutes later, two high-definition color displays in the radar cabin provide a precise 3D air picture out to 440 km with 360° coverage.

Peace of mind :

Technology and fault- tolerant architecture ensure high operational availability. Mean time between critical failures MTBCF exceeds 1,500 hours. So logistic support is drastically reduced.

Tough on the enemy :

High mobility and low infrared and electromagnetic signatures ensure high system survivability even under the worst active jamming, chaff and clutter conditions. Threat assessment is enhanced by the Master-T raid analysis function as a further guarantee of successful air operations and continued airspace control.
