Russia’s air-defense systems manufacturer Almaz-Antei is, for the first time, showing mockup models of advanced battlefield surveillance radar systems at the IDEX 2013 International Defense Exhibition in Abu Dhabi (17-21 February 2013).

Almaz-Antei is displaying models of FARA-PV, a modernized, portable short-range battlefield surveillance radar with a panoramic display, and Project 1L277, a short-range solid-state ground surveillance radar.

The radars are designed for day/night and all-weather location of moving targets (personnel and vehicles) and stationary objects. They feature automatic transmission of data to the user and can be used to adjust artillery fire.

Project 1L277 can track up to 20 targets and is capable of automatic moving target recognition.  

Representatives of nine defense firms affiliated with Almaz-Antei are taking part in IDEX 2013.
