Man-portable Surveillance and Target Acquisition Radar (MSTAR)

MSTAR is a lightweight all-weather battlefield radar, able to detect helicopters, vehicles and infantry to a range in excess of 20km. Powered by a standard Army field battery, MSTAR is used by artillery observers to detect fall of shot. The electro-luminescent display shows dead ground, relief and target track history, and a 1:50,000 map grid can be superimposed to simplify the transfer of information to and from military maps. The 30kg radar can be carried in a vehicle (for example, Warrior Observation Post Vehicle) or broken down into three easily man-packed loads
