The EL/M-2288 AD-STAR is a multi-purpose air-search long-range 3D radar designed for air defense, early warning, and air traffic control missions. developed by IAI Elta capable of being deployed on mobile ground platforms or at fixed sites. AD-STAR is an acronym of Air Defense, Surveillance, Threat Alert and air traffic control Radar.[1] [2]
Design and description
First introduced in June 2011, this is a fully synchronized 3D multi-beam, multi-mode Pulsed Doppler search radar operating in the S band (IEEE) or E band/F band (NATO). It can perform multi-target aerial search even when the target is flying low, has a small radar cross-section (RCS), or the helicopter is hovering.[3] [1] [2]
