of detecting a very wide variety of air and space objects including stealth, short up to long range ballistic
missiles and space objects. The applied high-end techniques result in a radar with an unrivalled long range
performance of up to 2000 km.

Track Capabilities
SMART-L MM/F independently finds Ballistic Missile type targets. Technical Data
Following fast track initialization, the ballistic target track is maintained up
to zenith. The Ballistic Missile defence capability is based on the extended Air Defence range 480 km instrumented
long range waveform functionality proven during various live ballistic missile
Ballistic Missile range 2000 km instrumented
trials. Thanks to AESA, Ballistic Missile detection range is even improved
significantly by applying forward/backward scanning and staring modes.
Minimum range 5 km
Easily upgradable and prepared for future Tracking capacity 2000 tracks
In traditional radar systems the functionality remains unchanged through
their lifespan. However SMART-L MM/F is an AESA programmable
radar which is characterized by full flexibility. Additional capabilities (like
