RAVEN
The RAVEN air surveillance radar is a frequency modulated continuous wave (FMCW) radar operating in X-band. The radar reports the approach of an object to the Manpads (Man-Porttable Air Defense System) within a range of 20 km, giving the operator sufficient time to deploy the Mistral missile.
A prototype was tested by the Spanish Army over a period of two years. The first series systems were to be delivered in 2001, but production was discontinued.
