Sweeden and Pakistan discuss Defence

Pakistan operates artillery locating radar as well from Sweden:



regards!

for details:
ARTHUR is an abbreviation for mobile "Artillery Hunting Radar" system developed in Sweden. This field artillery acquisition radar was developed for the primary role as the core element of a brigade or division level counter battery sensor system. It can also be used for peace support operations.

The vehicle carrying the radar is usually a Bandvagn 206 developed and produced by Hägglunds; the radar is developed by Ericsson. Its cost is estimated at 48 million Swedish kronor per unit.

In June 2006, Ericsson sold the greater part of Ericsson Microwave Systems to SAAB, which it intends to rename Saab Microwave Systems.

According to the mode used, the system’s working range can be up to 10, 20 or 40 kilometres. The system can monitor more than 100 targets a minute; in its search mode the system can simultaneously track up to eight flying shells, locate the firing site and transfer the gathered data to friendly firing platforms, to include air force assets. The ARTHUR system is also capable of coordinating the fires of friendly assets by tracking the trajectories of shells in the final phase of flight. It can identify relatively small shells and is able to distinguish between shells and birds.

The crew is normally composed of an operator and a tactical officer, but the system is capable of being controlled by only one person. Radar data are automatically transferred to the command post.
