The radar system was developed by Rheinmetall Italia, with the group announcing that the capability is ready for series production.
The new system is designed to detect short and very short-range aerial threats, which include cruise missiles, high angle mortar attacks, artillery, rockets as well as mini and micro-UAVs.
“Thanks to adaptive full digital beamforming techniques in the S-band, Oerlikon AMMR automatically detects, classifies and tracks the full spectrum of aerial threats,” a release from the company read.
The modular radar systems can be integrated into other platforms, giving them the ability to track and identify a multitude of threats whether the radar is moving or stationary.
It can be further upgraded to track future threats.
Rheinmetall explained that the radar is able to operate when being jammed and is integrated with electronic counter-countermeasures.
