Ground Fire
Ground Fire is a family of fully digital, multifunctional ground radars operating in the S band designed to conduct air defense and air surveillance missions simultaneously. The development is based on the Sea Fire radar system.
The Ground Fire radars are so-called 4D radars with a fully digital GaN array and are based upon Active Electronically Scanning Array (AESA) technology to be compact enough to fit into a medium size truck system which makes them air transportable and adaptable to a wide variety of terrain. The Ground Fire versions can simultaneously detect and track a comprehensive range of targets with continuous 360° coverage in azimuth and up to 90° coverage in elevation. Ground Fire is compatible with missiles of the Aster family operating in intense clutter and jamming. The radar system is also able to provide early warning against incoming ballistic missiles.
The Ground Fire 300 (GF 300) version is destined to replace the Arabel around 2025 as part of the Eurosam SAMP/T GBAD New Generation (NG) program.
