New Technology to Ensure Air Superiority:
Modern combat aircraft are equipped with Active Electronically Scanned Array (AESA) radars to effectively counter dynamic changes and evolving threats in the battlespace. The MURAD 100-A, with its AESA architecture, offers highly agile electronic beam steering capabilities. This radar is designed as a multifunctional fire control system, capable of simultaneously handling both air-to-air and air-to-ground engagements.
Considering the increasing role of unmanned aerial vehicles in modern warfare, the MURAD 100-A Radar is of critical importance for combat jets and UAVs alike. This radar is becoming an indispensable technology for ensuring air superiority and enhancing operational effectiveness across all aerial platforms.
